Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation, in particular to a photovoltaic panel sunlight tracking device. Background Art

[0002] Designing photovoltaic panels for sunlight tracking can effectively increase the intensity of sunlight received by a single photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of a single photovoltaic panel.

[0003] The solar tracking system used by photovoltaic panels is divided into two basic types: single-axis and dual-axis. The single-axis solar tracking system tracks the direction of the sun in pitch or azimuth, while the dual-axis solar tracking system tracks the direction of the sun in both pitch and azimuth. Although the dual-axis solar tracking system can achieve better power generation efficiency than the single-axis solar tracking system, due to the high cost of the dual-axis solar tracking system, the overall cost performance is not as good as the single-axis solar tracking system. Therefore, the mainstream product on the market is the single-axis solar tracking system.

[0004] Generally, installing a solar tracking system will increase the initial cost of the project by about 2% to 10%. Compared with fixed installation, the average power generation of photovoltaic panels using a single-axis solar tracking system can be increased by about 20%, and the average power generation of photovoltaic panels using a dual-axis solar tracking system can be increased by about 30%. However, for most projects, a photovoltaic power generation system using a single-axis solar tracking system can recover the increased initial cost of installing the system faster than a power generation system using a dual-axis solar tracking system.

[0005] Here are some of the solar tracking technologies used in photovoltaic panels that are disclosed in the patent application field:

The utility model realizes light-chasing through a louver-type photovoltaic module, a light-chasing drive unit and a control unit, which improves the overall power generation of the component under the condition that the unit light-receiving area remains unchanged. The small-scale component composed of small pieces of monocrystalline silicon cells welded and packaged greatly reduces the safety hazards caused by wind resistance. The use of PET layer as the surface packaging material of the component optimizes the weight problem of the photovoltaic component.
