Lower cost and high reliability index of single-axis solar tracker will proliferate the industry growth
Get more details on this report - Request Free Sample PDF
Single-axis tracker on account of its high reliability index with low cost and longer lifespan holds wide adoption across global photovoltaic industry. These trackers are typically aligned along the true north meridian. However, in certain cases with the help of advance tracking algorithms, such trackers may also be aligned in cardinal direction. In addition, single axis trackers hold the potential to increase electricity production by more than 30%, which will boost the market demand.
Single axis tilts on horizontal axis as well as vertical axis to improve solar energy generation in comparison to a fixed tilt. The long-term re-structuring across major electricity markets along with the manufacturer inclination toward cost-competitiveness and the production of efficient units will accelerate the growth of horizontal single axis solar tracker market globally. Moreover, the introduction of stringent government mandates to curb emissions favored by large-scale deployment of renewable energy systems will positively sway the industry growth of horizontal trackers at over 8% during the forecast period.

Utility scale trackers held the largest market share of over 80% in 2019. Rapid decline in solar PV system cost along with ambitious government renewable energy targets will drive the market size on a global scale. Manufacturers operating across the industry are strongly focused toward the establishment of efficient distribution channels to increase the ease of access for large scale plant developers and boost their market share.
The plant developers then integrate the solar panel with tracker to enhance the CUF which in turn will increase the demand for solar trackers. Utility segment comprises of large profit driven projects that rely on the lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for their revenue, demonstrating a need for high operational efficiency across the plant, thereby creating a significant market demand.
Rising installation of solar systems will propel the solar tracker market across North America
The North America market share is anticipated to grow substantially through 2026 driven by increasing installation rates of solar energy systems along with refurbishment of the existing electrical network. Rising investments by government as well as private institutions toward establishment of new solar systems in line with growing demand for decentralized energy generation will fuel the industry growth. Additionally, technological innovation toward product design for efficiency improvement and cost reduction will positively influence the market growth.
The U.S. accounts for over 80% share across North America solar tracker market complemented by presence of a robust distribution channels favoring the deployment of solar trackers. Growing consumer awareness toward energy efficiency coupled with strong inclination toward the installation of RE systems will boost the market demand. High solar intensity, enhanced system efficiency and favorable regulatory environment are few of the key factors favoring solar tracker deployment across the U.S.
