Solar Tracker Reviews | Cost, Types, Advantages

A solar tracker is a device that directs a payload toward the sun. Payloads are typically solar panels, parabolic troughs, fresnel reflectors, lenses, or the mirrors of the heliostat cause solar trackers follow the sun, they constantly have to change their orientation throughout the day so as to maximize energy capture.
