Solar tracking engine is a type of engine system used in solar energy systems. These motors are used to control and adjust the solar panels’ tracking systems to capture sunlight at the optimum angle. In this way, solar panels collect sunlight more effectively throughout the day, which allows more energy production.
Solar tracking motors are generally DC (direct current) motors and generally operate at low speeds, usually a very low speed of 1 to 3 rpm. This lower speed is necessary to ensure precise movements of the solar tracking system, and they are often integrated with planetary gear systems, allowing greater torque production and more reliable performance at lower speeds.
Solar tracking engines ensure optimum performance of solar panels throughout the year. These motors track the position of the sun and direct the panels in the direction where the sunlight is most intense. Thus, solar panels are exposed to maximum sunlight throughout the day and produce more electrical energy.
Solar tracking engines are considered an important component to increase the efficiency of renewable energy systems and optimize the performance of solar power facilities.
Geared DC Motor – High-Efficiency Drive Solution for Solar Tracking Systems
Maximizing the efficiency of solar energy collection requires more than just high-quality panels—it also demands accurate sun-tracking mechanisms.
