Single axis solar trackers are becoming an increasingly common feature of utility-scale solar farms, helping maximise energy production by enabling solar panels to follow the sun throughout the day. As the large-scale solar industry continues to grow, there is increasing demand for workers and industry professionals who understand tracker technology, project risks, and construction best practices.
This course is designed for anyone interested in the development, construction, or operation of single axis tracker systems. Whether you are looking to expand your industry knowledge, work on a solar tracker project, or gain a better understanding of utility-scale solar technologies, this course provides a practical introduction to the fundamentals of tracker systems and their applications.
Participants will explore tracker technology, terminology, and market-leading designs before examining common project risks and the lessons learned from real-world projects. The course also covers construction best practices, extreme weather mitigation strategies, common causes of project delays, and the role of bifacial solar modules in tracker installations. Finally, learners will gain insight into emerging tracker technologies that are shaping the future of large-scale solar developments.
