This is typically not a concern in most solar panel systems, as the materials used in their construction are not prone to generating static electricity. Additionally, the low voltage of most solar panel systems would not generate enough static charge to cause damage.

The “tracking price” is $2.24 per DC Watt. Compared to a fixed mount, the additional cost per watt or premium to track is $1.33 per watt ($2.24- $0.91). That increases the installed cost for a tracked PV System from $8.63 to $9.96 per DC watt. It might appear that tracking is a luxury addition to a PV System.

They are perfect for energy conservation, remaining in low-power mode or standby when inactive. This feature prolongs the overall battery life and contributes to sustainability. Regarding security, motion-activated solar lights act as a deterrent, surprising potential intruders with sudden illumination.

Following the sun's path, tracking solar panels move through one complete rotation daily, either mounted on a single-axis or dual-axis tracker. Using a single-axis tracker, solar panels operate like a seesaw, tilting over one point of contact, facing east to west from sunrise to sunset.
