  • What is a smart photovoltaic tracking module

    What is a smart photovoltaic tracking module

    This solar panel tracking and cleaning system enhances power harvesting by optimizing solar panel exposure and maintenance. This adjustment minimizes light reflection, allowing the panels to capture more solar energy. A smaller angle of incidence results in increased energy production by a solar PV panel. Thanks to their design, they can adjust their axis and accurately orient the photovoltaic panels to point towards the optimal position of the sun, which allows solar energy to be collected. This is the fundamental purpose of a solar tracking system, an advanced electromechanical device designed to orient a PV system toward the sun, maximizing energy capture throughout the day and across all seasons. The objective is that the cells are always oriented during the day so that direct light hits their front surface perpendicularly.
