Why are solar trackers so expensive?
Solar tracking systems cost more money than standard fixed solar panel systems. This is because of both the additional parts needed and added labor to prepare a site for trackers. Oftentimes, solar trackers require more maintenance than fixed-mount solar panels (which need almost no maintenance to begin with)

What is the difference between single axis and dual axes solar tracker?
As the name implies, single-axis trackers move on only one axis of movement while dual-axis trackers move on two axes. This means that solar panels with a single-axis tracker can only move from East to West. Having a dual-axis tracker means that the solar panel can move from East to West AND from North to South.
Why do we need a solar tracker?
Solar trackers have become important components of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Their ability to track the changing position of the sun in the sky can dramatically boost the energy gains of PV systems, by as much as 25 to 35 percent in some cases according to EnergySage.
Why do we need dual axis solar tracker?
The dual-axis solar tracker tracks the angular height position of the sun in addition to following the suns east- west movement. The dual-axis works similar to single axis but it captures the solar energy more effectively by rotating its axis along vertical and horizontal axis [1].
What are the three types of tracking?
Three Types of Tracking These are: Satellite-based GPS Vehicle tracking. Cell-Based GPS vehicle tracking.
