Mounting And Tracking
Mounting and tracking are crucial aspects of solar panel installation and operation, affecting the efficiency and performance of a solar power system.
Here's an overview of both:
Mounting:
Mounting refers to the process of attaching solar panels to a structure or support system. Proper mounting is essential for the structural integrity and longevity of the solar installation.
Common types of solar panel mounting systems:
-
Roof Mounting
-
Ground Mounting
-
Pole Mounting
Tracking:
Solar tracking systems enhance the efficiency of solar panels by ensuring they face the sun as it moves across the sky.
There are two main types:
-
Single-Axis Tracking
-
Dual-Axis Tracking
