Solar tracker: what it is, how it works and its importance in a photovoltaic plant

A single-axis solar tracker that orients photovoltaic panels to maximise solar energy production at a photovoltaic plant.

A solar tracker is a smart structure that orients photovoltaic panels to follow the sun’s path in order to maximise energy production. Find out how it works, what types are available and why it has become a key technology in large-scale solar power stations.
