The global solar tracker market size is expected to reach USD 29.31 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 26.2% from 2023 to 2030. The market is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period owing to the growing need for renewable power generation. Solar tracker is installed on a PV system to get an increased energy output during the day. PV system trackers help to minimize the angle of incidence between incoming light and panel, thereby increasing the amount of energy produced. In Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) technology, a large part of sunlight is focused on a solar cell using an optical device. Concentrating light requires direct sunlight, thereby limiting this technology to clear locations.
The single axis type segment is predicted to witness significant growth from 2022 to 2030. Single axis trackers are more economical than dual axis trackers and easy to maintain. Single axis trackers are less expensive compared to dual axis trackers, therefore, are widely employed in residential and commercial applications. Reduced non-renewable energy consumption, improved efficiency, and lower CO2 emissions are likely to drive the solar power generation market, and thus the market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period.

Solar Tracker Market Report Highlights
• Solar tracker helps to increase the efficiency of solar cells. Increasing solar PV demand in various regions is expected to propel market growth over the projected period
• Solar PV technology has been one of the fastest growing renewable sources of energy over the past few years in the U.S. Increasing government focus on renewable energy has resulted in the development of PV cells as a sustainable and continuous source of energy generation
• The dual axis type segment held the largest revenue share of over 50.83% in 2022. Single axis tracker is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Single axis trackers are less expensive as compared to dual axis trackers and, therefore, are widely employed in utility and non-utility applications
• The utility application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 85.56% in 2022 and is projected to expand at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Trackers are being used on a large scale in utility applications in light of the increasing government subsidies, coupled with feed-in tariff schemes, particularly in the North American and European region
• North America accounts for the major market share in the global market and this trend is expected to continue till 2030. The Middle East and Africa market is projected to expand at the highest CAGR during the forecast period on account of a rise in the investments in solar energy in the region
