[Travel & Leisure Close - Up](Travel & Leisure Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Research and Markets Adds Report: Middle East & Africa Solar Tracker Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2019 Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Middle East & Africa Solar Tracker Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2019" report to its offerings. In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: Tracking technology allows solar panels to track the movement of sun and enhance its output efficiency by 20 percent to 40 percent as compared to a fixed solar PV array. Flat-panel photovoltaic (PV), Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) and Concentrated Solar Thermal (CSP) are some of the key technologies in the solar tracker market. Single axis and dual axis are two types of trackers installed worldwide. Single axis trackers have only one axis for rotation that could be horizontal, vertical, tilted or polar aligned moving from east to west over the course of a day. Dual axis trackers rotate in two axes, both east to west and vertically trapping maximum solar radiations. Single axis trackers are primarily used in solar PV systems due to their lower cost compared to dual axis trackers and high electricity output against fixed systems. Europe has high DNI (Direct normal irradiance 5.5kWh/m2) due to which solar trackers are one of the preferred renewable technologies used for energy generation. Dual axis solar trackers applications are expected to increase in CSP and CPV plants. Single axis is preferred in utility scale projects due to low installation cost and high efficiency. Single axis tracker systems accounted for more than 85 percent market share in 2010, compared to dual axis solar trackers. Reduction of few FIT rates and incentive schemes hindered the non-utility market in North America. This was compensated with a provision of government stimulus for the development of large solar tracker installations in the U.S. and Canada. The shifting focus towards utility scale projects is likely to fuel the market. Increased and upcoming CSP installations wherein dual axis trackers are widely preferred are expected to bolster the dual axis trackers market over the forecast period.
