The photovoltaic effect refers to the process by which solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits a solar cell, it causes the electrons in the cell to become excited and move around, creating an electric current. This current can then be used to power electrical devices or can be stored in a battery for later use.
Tracking, refers to the ability of the solar panels to move and follow the sun’s movement across the sky. This allows the panels to always be facing directly at the sun, maximizing their ability to convert sunlight into electricity. There are two main types of tracking systems: single-axis tracking, which allows the panels to move along a single plane, and dual-axis tracking, which allows the panels to move in two planes. Both types of tracking systems can significantly increase the amount of electricity produced by a solar installation.
