• It is the major eco-friendly & pollution less
method of producing the electricity today.
 TYPES OF SOLAR TRACKERS
• SINGLE AXIS SOLAR TRACKERS.
• DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKERS.
 1.Single Axis Solar Tracker
• Single axis solar trackers can have either
horizontal or vertical axle.The horizontal type
is used in tropical regions where the sun gets
very high at noon,but days are short.The
vertical type is used in altitudes where dun
does not get very high, but summerdays can
be very long.
 2.Dual Axis Solar Tracker
• Dual axis solar trackers have both horizontal
and vertical axle and so can track the sun’s
apparent motion exactly anywhere in the
world.
