China’s photovoltaic installed capacity ranks first in the world and is still in a stage of rapid development, which also brings about issues of consumption and grid balance. The Chinese government is also accelerating the reform of the electricity market. In the vast majority of regions, the gap between peak and valley electricity prices in the industrial and commercial sectors is gradually widening, and the noon electricity price is located in the deep valley electricity price, which will lead to very low or even zero photovoltaic grid electricity prices in the future. In many other countries around the world, similar peak and valley electricity pricing schemes are expected to be adopted due to the gradual increase in photovoltaic installed capacity. So the power generation of photovoltaic power plants is no longer very important during the noon period, what is important is the power generation during the morning and afternoon periods.

So how to increase the power generation during the morning and afternoon periods? The tracking bracket is exactly that solution. The following is a power generation curve diagram of a power station with solar tracking brackets and a fixed bracket power station under the same conditions.

It can be seen that compared to photovoltaic power stations installed on fixed brackets, photovoltaic power stations with tracking systems have little change in noon power generation. The increased power generation is mainly concentrated in the morning and afternoon time periods, while photovoltaic power stations installed on fixed brackets only have ideal power generation in a few hours at noon. This feature brings greater practical benefits to the solar project owner with solar tracking bracket. Tracking brackets will obviously play a more important role in photovoltaic power plants.
