 Brief Note on Solar Tracking Systems

Solar Power In India

India's power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1,46,753

Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based, 25% hydro, 8% is renewables and
the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at
about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely
to increase in the coming years.

Fortunately, India lies in sunny regions of the world. Most parts of India receive 4-
7 kWh of Solar radiation per square metre per day with 250-300 sunny days in a
year. India has abundant Solar resources, as it receives about 3000 hours of
sunshine every year, equivalent to over 5,000 trillion kWh. India can easily utilize
the Solar energy or Solar Power. Today the contribution of Solar power with an
installed capacity of 9.84 MW, is a fraction (< 0.1 percent) of the total renewable
energy installed 13, 242.41(as on 31st October 2008 by MNRE). Solar power
generation has lagged behind other sources like wind, small Hydropower
,biomass etc.,
But now realizing the potential of Solar energy, Prime Minister of India unveiled a
National Climate Change Action Plan in June 2008. The plan will be implemented
through eight missions with main focus on Solar energy in the total energy mix of
the country.

Government Authorities

Development of alternate energy has been part of India's strategy for expanding
energy supply and meeting decentralized energy needs of the rural sector. The
strategy is administered through India's Ministry of New Renewable Energy
(MNRE), Energy development agencies in the various States, and the Indian
Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA).

MNRE – Ministry of New Renewable Energy is the nodal Ministry of the

Government of India for all matters relating to new and renewable energy. In 1982
Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources (DNES) was created to develop
and deploy new and renewable energy for supplementing the energy
requirements of the country. In 1992, DNES became the Ministry of Non-
conventional Energy Sources. In October 2006, the Ministry was re-christened as
the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The Ministry has been facilitating the
implementation of broad spectrum programmes including harnessing renewable
power, renewable energy to rural areas for lighting, cooking and motive power,
use of renewable energy in urban, industrial and commercial applications and
development of alternate fuels and applications. In addition, it supports research,
design and development of new and renewable energy technologies, products
and services.

IREDA – Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency is a Public Limited

Government Company established on 11th March, 1987, under the administrative
control of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to promote, develop
and extend financial assistance for renewable energy and energy
efficiency/conservation projects. IREDA has been notified as a &ldquo;Public
Financial Institution&rdquo; under section 4 &lsquo;A&rsquo; of the Companies
Act, 1956 and registered as Non-Banking Financial Company (NFBC) with
Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

SEC - The Solar Energy Centre (SEC), established in 1982, is a dedicated unit of
the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India for development
of Solar energy technologies and to promote its applications through product
development. The institute was set up with a view to encourage research in the
field of Solar technology as a viable alternate energy system. The centre itself is
built taking into account principles of passive Solar design to reduce energy
consumption in the building. This is achieved by reducing heat gain in summer,
encouraging effective ventilation, natural cooling and effective insulation to
prevent heat loss during the winter, thus reducing both heating and cooling costs.

Involvement of various players in the energy sector, such as local industries, the
private construction and operations contractors, Central Electricity Authority
(CEA), MNRE and others, has helped in increasing the capacity and capability of
local technical expertise and further sustain the development of Solar power in
India in the longer term.

Solar Industry in India gained momentum with the contribution of Private

organizations. Many Indian companies have planned major investments in this
industry. The government has approved projects of Chandradeep Solar (for an
R&D unit); Neotech Solutions; Photon Energy Systems; Surana Ventures; and
RamTerra Solar Pvt Ltd.

Tata Power and BP Solar joint venture had been the leading Solar Photovoltaic
(PV) manufacturers for the last many years. Moser Baer India Limited has entered
the Solar sector in a big way with both crystalline silicon cell technology and thin-
film technology.

Earlier this year, Khandelwal Solar Power Limited (KSPL), Reliance Industries,
Titan Energy Systems, Nano Tech Silicon India and XL Telecom & Energy also
proposed to invest in the Solar Industry.

Present Status

As a result of the efforts made during the past quarter century, a number of
devices have been developed and have become commercially viable. These
include Solar Water Heaters, Solar Cookers, Solar Lanterns, Solar Street Lights,
Solar Water Pumps.

India has started wide Solar Photovoltaic Program for about 2 decades and has
installed an aggregate 1.3 million systems. However, now the focus of the 11th
year plan is on the grid connected power generation. India's Integrated Rural
Energy Program using Solar energy had served 300 districts and around 2,300
villages.

The production during 2007-08 (till December 2007) is estimated to be over 40

MWp of Solar cells and 60 MWp of PV modules.
 Growth in Indian PV Production

A solar tracker is a generic term used to describe devices that orient various payloads toward the sun.
Payloads can be photovoltaic panels, reflectors, lenses or other optical devices.

In standard photovoltaic (PV) applications trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between
the incoming light and a photovoltaic panel. This increases the amount of energy produced from a fixed
amount of installed power generating capacity. In standard photovoltaic applications, it is estimated that
trackers are used in at least 85% of commercial installations greater than 1MW from 2009 to 2012

In concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) and concentrated solar thermal (CSP) applications trackers are used
to enable the optical components in the CPV and CSP systems. The optics in concentrated solar
applications accept the direct component of sunlight light and therefore must be oriented appropriately to
collect energy. Tracking systems are found in all concentrator applications because systems do not
produce energy unless oriented toward the sun.

Drive types

Active tracker

Active trackers use motors and gear trains to direct the tracker as commanded by a controller
responding to the solar direction.

Active two-axis trackers are also used to orient heliostats - movable mirrors that reflect sunlight toward
the absorber of a central power station. As each mirror in a large field will have an individual orientation
these are controlled programmatically through a central computer system, which also allows the system
to be shut down when necessary.

Light-sensing trackers typically have two photo sensors, such as photodiodes, configured differentially so
that they output a null when receiving the same light flux. Mechanically, they should be omni directional
(i.e. flat) and are aimed 90 degrees apart. This will cause the steepest part of their cosine transfer
functions to balance at the steepest part, which translates into maximum sensitivity.
Since the motors consume energy, one wants to use them only as necessary. So instead of a continuous
motion, the heliostat is moved in discrete steps. Also, if the light is below some threshold there would not
be enough power generated to warrant reorientation. This is also true when there is not enough difference
in light level from one direction to another, such as when clouds are passing overhead. Consideration
must be made to keep the tracker from wasting energy during cloudy periods.

For more information regarding active tracker control types: Active daylighting

Passive tracker

Zome works passive tracker head in Spring/Summer tilt position with panels on light blue rack pivoted to
morning position against stop. Dark blue objects are hydraulic dampers.

Passive trackers use a low boiling point compressed gas fluid that is driven to one side or the other (by
solar heat creating gas pressure) to cause the tracker to move in response to an imbalance. As this is a
non-precision orientation it is unsuitable for certain types of concentrating photovoltaic collectors but
works fine for common PV panel types. These will have viscous dampers to prevent excessive motion in
response to wind gusts. Shader/reflectors are used to reflect early morning sunlight to "wake up" the
panel and tilt it toward the sun, which can take nearly an hour. The time to do this can be greatly reduced
by adding a self-releasing tiedown that positions the panel slightly past the zenith (so that the fluid does
not have to overcome gravity) and using the tiedown in the evening. (A slack-pulling spring will prevent
release in windy overnight conditions.)

The term "passive tracker" is also used for photovoltaic modules that include a hologram behind stripes of
photovoltaic cells. That way, sunlight passes through the transparent part of the module and reflects on
the hologram. This allows sunlight to hit the cell from behind, thereby increasing the module's efficiency.
Also, the module does not have to move since the hologram always reflects sunlight from the correct
angle towards the cells.
Chronological tracker

A chronological tracker counteracts the Earth's rotation by turning at an equal rate as the earth, but in the
opposite direction. Actually the rates aren't quite equal, because as the earth goes around the sun, the
position of the sun changes with respect to the earth by 360° every year or 365.24 days. A chronological
tracker is a very simple yet potentially a very accurate solar tracker specifically for use with a polar mount
(see above). The drive method may be as simple as a gear motor that rotates at a very slow average rate
of one revolution per day (15 degrees per hour). In theory the tracker may rotate completely, assuming
there is enough clearance for a complete rotation, and assuming that twisting wires are not an issue.

Maintenance

Some solar trackers may operate most effectively with seasonal position adjustment and most will need
inspection and lubrication on an annual basis. As most trackers are made from mild steel, maintenance of
paint is typically required, and may be critical in highly corrosive environments, such as near saltwater or
in polluted industrial localities. In regions with extended Summer dry seasons the periodic washing of the
panels may significantly increase performance at a critical demand time, particularly for grid-tied systems.

Photovoltaic trackers can be grouped into classes by the number and orientation of the tracker’s axes.
Compared to a fixed mount, a single axis tracker increases annual output by approximately 30%, and a
dual axis by another 16 %

Single Axis Trackers

Single axis trackers have one degree of freedom that acts as an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation of
single axis trackers is typically aligned along a true North meridian. It is possible to align them in any
cardinal direction with advanced tracking algorithms.

There are several common implementations of single axis trackers. These include Horizontal Single Axis
Trackers, Vertical Single Axis Trackers, and Tilted Single Axis Trackers. The orientation of the module
with respect to the tracker axis is important when modelling performance.
Horizontal Single Axis Tracker (HSAT)

RayTracker GC200 Horizontal Single Axis Tracker in California

Wattsun HZ-Series Linear Axis Tracker in South Korea. These trackers use a horizontal axis.

The axis of rotation for Horizontal Single Axis Tracker is horizontal with respect to the ground. The posts
at either end of the axis of rotation of a Horizontal Single Axis Tracker can be shared between trackers to
lower the installation cost.

Field layouts with Horizontal Single Axis Trackers are very flexible. The simple geometry means that
keeping all of the axis of rotation parallel to one another is all that is required for appropriately positioning
the trackers with respect to one another.

In addition, with backtracking, they can be packed at any density without shading.
Horizontal Trackers typically have the face of the module oriented parallel to the axis of rotation. As a
module tracks, it sweeps a cylinder that is rotationally symmetric around the axis of rotation.

Several manufacturers can deliver single axis horizontal trackers. In these, a long horizontal tube is
supported on bearings mounted upon pylons or frames. The axis of the tube is on a North-South line.
Panels are mounted upon the tube, and the tube will rotate on its axis to track the apparent motion of the
sun through the day.

Manufacturers include Array Technologies, RayTracker, SunPower, and Zomeworks.

Vertical Single Axis Tracker (VSAT)

The axis of rotation for Vertical Single Axis Trackers is vertical with respect to the ground. These trackers
rotate from East to West over the course of the day.

Field layouts must consider shading to avoid unnecessary energy losses and to optimize land utilization.
Also optimization for dense packing is limited due to the nature of the shading over the course of a year.

Vertical Single Axis Trackers typically have the face of the module oriented at an angle with respect to the
axis of rotation. As a module tracks, it sweeps a cone that is rotationally symmetric around the axis of
rotation.

Tilted Single Axis Tracker (TSAT)

The arrays form part of the Nellis Solar Power Plant and was designed and built by SunPower
corporation. Credit: U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Larry E. Reid Jr.

All trackers with axes of rotation between horizontal and vertical are considered Tilted Single Axis
Trackers. Tracker tilt angles are often limited to reduce the wind profile and decrease the elevated end’s
height off the ground.

Field layouts must consider shading to avoid unnecessary losses and to optimize land utilization.
With backtracking, they can be packed without shading perpendicular to their axis of rotation at any
density. However, the packing parallel to their axis of rotation is limited by the tilt angle and the latitude.

Tilted Single Axis Trackers typically have the face of the module oriented parallel to the axis of rotation.
As a module tracks, it sweeps a cylinder that is rotationally symmetric around the axis of rotation.

Polar Aligned Single Axis Trackers (PASAT)

One scientifically interesting variation of a Tilted Single Axis Tracker is a Polar Aligned Single Axis
Trackers (PASAT). In this particular implementation of a Tilted Single Axis Tracker the tilt angle is equal
to the latitude of the installation. This aligns the tracker axis of rotation with the earth’s axis of rotation.
These are rarely deployed because of their high wind profile.

Dual Axis Trackers

Dual axis trackers have two degrees of freedom that act as axes of rotation. These axes are typically
normal to one another. The axis that is fixed with respect to the ground can be considered a primary axis.
The axis that is referenced to the primary axis can be considered a secondary axis.

There are several common implementations of dual axis trackers. They are classified by the orientation of
their primary axes with respect to the ground. Two common implementations are Tip - Tilt trackers and
Azimuth-Altitude trackers.

The orientation of the module with respect to the tracker axis is important when modelling performance.
Dual Axis Trackers typically have modules oriented parallel to the secondary axis of rotation.

Tip – Tilt Dual Axis Tracker (TTDAT)

A Tip – Tilt Dual Axis Tracker has its primary axis horizontal to the ground. The secondary axis is then
typically normal to the primary axis. The posts at either end of the primary axis of rotation of a Tip – Tilt
Dual Axis Tracker can be shared between trackers to lower installation costs.

Field layouts with Tip – Tilt Dual Axis Trackers are very flexible. The simple geometry means that keeping
the axes of rotation parallel to one another is all that is required for appropriately positioning the trackers
with respect to one another.

In addition, with backtracking, they can be packed without shading at any density

The axes of rotation of Tip – Tilt Dual Axis Trackers are typically aligned either along a true North
meridian or an east west line of latitude. It is possible to align them in any cardinal direction with
advanced tracking algorithms.
Azimuth-Altitude Dual Axis Tracker - 2 axis solar tracker, Toledo, Spain

Point focus parabolic dish with Stirling system. The horizontally rotating azimuth table mounts the vertical
frames on each side which hold the elevation trunnions for the dish and its integral engine/generator
mount Azimuth-Altitude Dual Axis Tracker (AADAT)

An Azimuth – Altitude Dual Axis Tracker has its primary axis vertical to the ground. The secondary axis is
then typically normal to the primary axis.

Field layouts must consider shading to avoid unnecessary energy losses and to optimize land utilization.
Also optimization for dense packing is limited due to the nature of the shading over the course of a year.

This mount is used as a large telescope mount owing to its structure and dimensions. One axis is a
vertical pivot shaft or horizontal ring mount, that allows the device to be swung to a compass point. The
second axis is a horizontal elevation pivot mounted upon the azimuth platform. By using combinations of
the two axis, any location in the upward hemisphere may be pointed. Such systems may be operated
under computer control according to the expected solar orientation, or may use a tracking sensor to
control motor drives that orient the panels toward the sun. This type of mount is also used to orient
parabolic reflectors that mount a Sterling engine to produce electricity at the device.[8]

Tracker Type Selection

The selection of tracker type is dependent on many factors including installation size, electric rates,
government incentives, land constraints, latitude, and local weather.

Horizontal single axis trackers are typically used for large distributed generation projects and utility scale
projects. The combination of energy improvement and lower product cost and lower installation
complexity results in compelling economics in large deployments. In addition the strong afternoon
performance is particularly desirable for large grid-tied photovoltaic systems so that production will match
the peak demand time. Horizontal single axis trackers also add a substantial amount of productivity during
the spring and summer seasons when the sun is high in the sky. The inherent robustness of their
supporting structure and the simplicity of the mechanism also result in high reliability which keeps
maintenance costs low. Since the panels are horizontal, they can be compactly placed on the axle tube
without danger of self-shading and are also readily accessible for cleaning.

A vertical axis trackers pivots only about a vertical axle, with the panels either vertical, at a fixed,
adjustable, or tracked elevation angle. Such trackers with fixed or (seasonably) adjustable angles are
suitable for high latitudes, where the apparent solar path is not especially high, but which leads to long
days in summer, with the sun travelling through a long arc.

Dual axis trackers are typically used in smaller residential installations and locations with very high
government Feed In Tariffs.

Gemini House rotates in its entirety and the solar panels rotate independently, allowing control of the
natural heating from the sun. The inventor stands in the middle of the group

Rotating building

This cylindrical house in Austria (latitude above 45 degrees north) rotates in its entirety to track the sun,
with vertical panels mounted on one side of the building. This is a unique example of a vertical axis
tracker.[9]

Multi-mirror concentrating PV
Energy Innovations test units

This device uses multiple mirrors in a horizontal plane to reflect sunlight upward to a high temperature
photovoltaic or other system requiring concentrated solar power. Structural problems and expense are
greatly reduced since the mirrors are not significantly exposed to wind loads. Through the employment of
a patented mechanism, only two drive systems are required for each device. Because of the configuration
of the device it is especially suited for use on flat roofs and at lower latitudes. The units illustrated each
produce approximately 200 peak DC watts.

A multiple mirror reflective system combined with a central power tower is employed at the Sierra
SunTower, located in Lancaster, California. This generation plant operated by eSolar is scheduled to
begin operations on August 5, 2009. This system, which uses multiple heliostats in a north-south
alignment, uses pre-fabricated parts and construction as a way of decreasing startup and operating costs.
The SOLAR TRACKER 2 CIRCUIT KIT (Catalog #ST2) from MTM Scientific contains all the electrical
parts you need to build a circuit which will automatically find and follow the sun across the sky. This
tracker circuit finds the sun at dawn, follows the sun during the day, and resets for the next day. This kit is
perfect for driving a single axis solar tracker with a 12 VDC gear motor that you provide. The kit includes 2
photocells, an IC comparator, resistors, diodes, 2 limit switches, 2 relays, terminal connectors and a 16
page booklet. A printed circuit board is also included with the kit, which makes it easy to assemble and
test the circuit quickly. The tracker circuit is powered by the same 12 VDC that drives your motor. Single
axis solar tracking is great for projects such as solar optical concentrators, solar ovens, fresnel lenses,
and solar electric photovoltaic panels. The instructions explain how the circuit works, how single axis sun
tracking works and how to select a DC gearhead motor. This kit is perfect for the person that wants a
quick start on building a single axis solar tracker.

NEW FEATURES of ST2: This updated solar tracker design includes many new and useful features
suggested by our customers during the last 3 years. This circuit has automatic reset to the East at sunset
to capture first light the next morning. Another useful feature is the simplified wiring connections, which
are all made using screw type wire terminals. The circuit board has been redesigned to fit inside a
standard outdoor junction box. In addition, the ST2 allows using a motor power supply other than 12 VDC,
for example a 24 VDC linear actuator. Please note that this is a kit which requires assembly and
soldering. You   must provide a 12 VDC power supply, wire, mechanical parts and DC motor (or
actuator) for your single axis sun tracking project to be complete.

Solar Tracker Circuit Specifications: 3 Amp Max Motor Current, 12 VDC Supply

Please note: This circuit kit is for controlling a 12 VDC electric motor that you provide. To track the sun
you will also need to build the mechanical drive for having your motor move your project. The instruction
booklet gives some examples. A dual axis tracker can be built by using 2 kits.

Description
The single axis tracking system offers a simple solution and is more commonly used. As the name
implies, a single axis tracking system is a system that only moves over one axis, horizontal or
vertical. The horizontal type is generally used in tropical regions where direct sunlight is strong but
duration of daylight is short. The vertical type is typically used in regions with high latitudes where
direct sunlight is less strong but duration of daylight is long.
