Dual-Axis Tracking Solar Installation Services
Maximize your solar energy output with Wellborn Digital’s dual-axis tracking systems. Designed to follow the sun both horizontally and vertically for unparalleled energy efficiency.
Experience the pinnacle of solar efficiency with Wellborn Digital’s dual-axis tracking solar systems. These advanced installations adjust both horizontally and vertically to track the sun’s path throughout the day and across seasons, ensuring maximum sunlight capture and significantly boosting energy production.
Dual-axis tracking solar systems are equipped with two degrees of freedom that actuate movement in both azimuth and elevation directions. This allows the solar panels to follow the sun’s path not only from east to west but also from horizon to horizon, adapting to its elevation throughout the year. Such systems are ideal for regions with high solar potential and varying sun angles across seasons.
We bring solutions to make life easier for our customers.
A dual-axis tracking solar system is equipped to move in two directions: vertically and horizontally. This allows the solar panels to follow the sun’s path throughout the day and across different seasons, maintaining optimal alignment with the sun for maximum solar energy absorption.
Dual-axis tracking systems can increase solar energy output by up to 40% compared to fixed systems and approximately 10% more than single-axis systems. This increase is due to the ability of dual-axis trackers to maintain optimal angle exposure to the sun all day and throughout the year
The primary benefits include:
Dual-axis trackers are most effective in areas with high solar potential and significant shifts in the sun’s position throughout the year. They are ideal for geographic locations at higher latitudes where the sun’s elevation changes drastically between seasons.
Installation of dual-axis systems is more complex and typically more costly than fixed or single-axis systems due to their mechanical complexity. Maintenance is also more demanding, as these systems have more moving parts and electronic components that need regular checks and servicing to ensure optimal performance.
Dual-axis trackers are generally equipped with stowing features that position the panels in a safe angle to minimize damage during high winds or heavy snowfall. It is crucial, however, to have these systems regularly maintained and inspected to ensure their mechanisms are functioning correctly in all weather conditions.
The lifespan of a dual-axis tracking system is comparable to other solar technologies, typically around 25 years. The mechanical parts may require replacement or repair during the system’s life due to the wear from continuous movement.
For residential properties with sufficient space and budget, a dual-axis tracking system can be a good investment, offering significant improvements in energy production which can lead to faster payback periods. However, the initial cost and maintenance requirements should be carefully considered.
Integrating a dual-axis tracking system with existing solar installations is possible but involves significant modifications. It’s generally recommended to plan for such a system from the outset due to the specific structural and mechanical requirements.
