Tech Explained | Tracking vs Fixed Mounts: Which is Right for Your Solar Plant

In PV plant construction, the choice of mounting systems directly impacts energy yield, ROI, and long-term O&M costs. As the "skeleton" of a solar project, mounts must not only support modules but also adapt to environmental conditions for maximum returns.

So, which delivers better value—tracking mounts for efficiency or fixed mounts for economy

Verdict: Trackers win for max output (e.g., high electricity price markets); fixed mounts suit budget-sensitive projects. 

Key Insight: Trackers shine where energy prices or scale justify the investment.

Harsh environments (sand, salt corrosion)

Bifacial modules (10-20% rear-side gain)

Agrivoltaics: Elevated structures for crop compatibility.

Near-zero maintenance (bolt checks annually).

Past challenges: Motor failures, calibration drift.

Remote monitoring via IoT.
