A good way to maximize the output of a solar PV system is to mount it on a solar tracker . Solar trackers can significantly increase the power output of a photovoltaic system, allowing you to earn more from the feed-in tariff. However, as discussed in this article, the economics of solar trackers are more suitable for large installations, and in fact rely more on the level of on-grid tariff assistance provided by geographic location. What is a solar tracker? A solar tracker is a device that tracks the sun through the sky during the day, exposing your photovoltaic cells to more sunlight and generating more electricity. This is because PV cells work best when facing the sun directly. As the Earth's tilt relative to the Sun changes, the angle of the Sun in the sky changes throughout the year. In the summer, the sun is high in the sky and longer in the sky as it passes longer arc lengths. In winter, the sun is lower in the sky, and when it passes through a shorter arc, the time a...

While it is not uncommon for farmers and ranchers to have their animals drink from creeks, ponds or other surface water sources, many are turning to alternatives to providing drinking water for livestock. The easy-to-install solar water pump is a very reliable way to pump water from the well to the ground storage tank, or from the surface to the high altitude. Some government agencies even provide cash grants to farmers and ranchers if they agree to graze from nearby creeks and streams and install alternative water supplies, such as wells using solar pumping methods. Solar pump system components The most basic forms of solar pumps include small direct current (DC) solar pumps, pump controllers, one or more solar modules, replacement well caps, wires and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. Anyone who can use a screwdriver and a pipe wrench should be able to assemble a solar pump kit. These systems are very basic. They do not require a power inverter or battery, and it is safer to u...
