By tracking the sun's movement, a Dual Axis Solar Tracking System ensures that
solar panels receive maximum sunlight for extended periods, leading to higher
energy generation.
With precise tracking, solar panels can capture sunlight at optimal angles,
harnessing more energy throughout the day, even during morning and evening
hours.
By maximizing solar energy output, Dual Axis Solar Tracking Systems contribute
to reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels, creating a cleaner and more
sustainable energy future.
Contribution to SDGs
• Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Dual-axis trackers increase solar energy efficiency, making clean, renewable energy more
accessible and cost-effective.
Supports off-grid energy solutions in remote or rural areas, improving energy access.
Economic Impact:
Job creation in renewable energy sector.
Long-term energy savings for businesses and individuals.
