Description

This course delves into the technology and operation of solar trackers, devices that enhance the efficiency of solar panels by aligning them with the sun. Participants will learn about the different types of solar trackers, including horizontal, vertical, and dual-axis, and the mechanisms behind manual, passive, and active tracking systems.

The course will explore how dual-axis trackers operate, their ability to follow the sun’s path across the sky, and the impact of this technology on energy production. Additionally, it will examine the economic and practical considerations of using solar trackers, weighing their advantages against the potential costs and complexities.

Hope to see you on the course!
