A solar tracker is a device released along with solar panels, guiding the latter in the direction of the sun. Trackers not just increase the energy capture yet additionally further boost the effectiveness of the total power generation procedure via reducing the angle of occurrence-- or the angle that a ray of light makes with a line perpendicular to the surface-- in between the incoming light and also the panel.

India’s Maharashtra state has launched a process to procure a major slice of grid-linked solar power, pushing for low prices in line with earlier tenders this year.

New analysis predicts more than 150 GW of tracker capacity will be installed in the next five years – around a third of all ground mount projects up to 2024. Rapid growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and the better cost structures possible from combining trackers and bifacial modules are singled out as key trends.

The projects-- to be established in three phases of 1 GW each-- are anticipated to be finished by year 2022-23. While the very first and the 3rd phases will be developed under public-private collaboration basis, the second phase will certainly be on the possession model of REMCL and eligible for funding subsidy under the CPSE plan.

With Work finally starting on NTPC Ramagundam's Floating solar project, with a planned capacity of 100 MW, floating solar is back in focus. The Ramagundam project is being built on the balance reservoir of NTPC's Ramagundam Super Thermal Power Station, with a nameplate capacity of 2600 MW itself. The reservoir itself gets its water from the Sriram Sagar Project, a critical water project for Telangana state.
