tracking array
A photovoltaic array that follows the path of the sun to maximize the solar radiation incident on the photovoltaic surface.
The two most common orientations are
- One axis where the array tracks the sun east to west.
- Two-axis tracking where the array points directly at the sun at all times.
Tracking arrays use both the direct and diffuse sunlight. Two-axis tracking arrays capture the maximum possible daily energy.
