Energy Consumption Comparison of a Novel Parallel Tracker and Its Corresponding Serial Tracker

A novel two-axis solar tracker with parallel mechanism is proposed in this paper. A dynamic model is derived by using the virtual work principle and the consumed energy including the mechanical energy and motor energy loss is computed. Taking Beijing as the working location of the solar tracker, the...
