Unlike fixed solar panels that remain stationary, a solar panel tracker rotates to maintain optimal alignment with sunlight, increasing energy production by 25% to 45% depending on the tracker type ...

Rooftop solar installation isn't possible for every homeowner. A solar installation closer to the ground is an oft-overlooked alternative. Put simply, it is what it sounds like: solar panels mounted ...

Traditional solar fails in the windswept north. Two Swedish inventors are betting on aerodynamic resilience to solve the ...

If your roof can't handle solar panels, a ground-mounted solar system could be an option. Some or all of the mortgage lenders featured on our site are advertising partners of NerdWallet, but this does ...

A new vertical solar tracking system designed to make solar energy more efficient and ...

The solar panels are operating at optimal parameters when they are at the perfect right angle to the sun. Unfortunately this is accomplished only if solar panels are rotated by the sun. This is the ...

Array Technologies has released DuraTrack Hail XP, a ground-mount solar tracker designed to withstand extreme hail and wind events. The tracker tilts solar panels up to 77 degrees to avoid direct hail ...

In the past few years, the price-per-watt for solar panels has dropped dramatically. This has led to a number of downstream effects beyond simple cost savings. For example, many commercial solar farms ...

Data company IHS Markit expects almost nine out of ten big solar projects in the Americas over the next three years to be tracker mounted. More than a terrawatt of new solar will be added from this ...

Double-sided solar panels that tilt based on the sun’s position could boost the amount of energy collected. The two approaches existed independently before, but researchers have now looked at the ...

As its name suggests, a ground-mounted solar system is a free-standing solar array mounted on the ground using either a rigid metal frame or atop a single pole. Ground-mounted systems can take the ...
