How much does a solar tracker cost?

The cost for the following solar trackers from Jiangsu Minnuo are as follows: $2,800.00 – $8,000.00 for a 5 kW dual-axis solar tracker solar panels tracking system. The cost for a customization sun tracking dual-axis solar tracker is $6,300.00 – $7,500.00. The cost for a roof solar tracking system for a power plant is $0.52 – $100.00 per piece.

Should a solar tracker be designed to track the Sun?

Compared to single-axis trackers, the initial cost of dual-axis trackers is higher, and they require more space to avoid being shaded by other panels. In general, the question of whether a given system should be designed to track the sun boils down to costs versus benefits.

What is a solar tracking system?

A solar panel precisely perpendicular to the sun produces more power than one not aligned. The main application of solar tracking system is to position solar photovoltaic (PV) panels towards the Sun. Most commonly they are used with mirrors to redirect sunlight on the panels.

How much does single axis solar tracking cost?

How do solar trackers work?

Solar trackers are usually paired with ground-mount solar systems, but recently, rooftop-mounted trackers have come onto the market. Typically, solar tracking equipment will be connected to the racking of the solar panels. From there, the solar panels will be able to move along with the movement of the sun.

Should I buy a solar tracker?

Unless you own a large, commercial-scale array of solar panels, it’s probably not worth buying a solar tracker. In real terms, a 35% output gain is hugely significant when it’s applied to a 100kWp system, but not so much when it comes to residential solar panels. Panels on a tracker are also more likely to require planning permission.
