As an important equipment of photovoltaic power station, photovoltaic support is divided into fixed support and tracking support according to whether it can track the rotation of the sun. The fixed support mainly includes the fixed type with the best inclination angle and the fixed adjustable type. The tracking support mainly includes flat single axis, inclined single axis and double axis support.

According to the development prospect report of photovoltaic support industry released by CMRC Zhongyan Century Consulting, in the early design stage of photovoltaic power station using fixed support, fixed components at specific angles will be selected in combination with local geographical environment, climate and other conditions to ensure that they can receive the maximum solar radiation. The location of components will not be adjusted frequently after being fixed. Due to the real-time change of the sun, it is difficult for components to fully absorb light. The fixed support has low price and good stability, but the utilization rate of solar energy is relatively low. The components of the tracking support can be automatically adjusted according to the light, track the movement of the sun in real time, always make the components face the best angle of sunlight, and obtain more solar radiation, so as to improve the power generation efficiency. However, the early investment cost of the tracking support is high, and it needs to bear the operation risk and later operation and maintenance cost of the device.
In China, the tracking support is still in the early stage of development, and there are not many participants in the industry. The domestic enterprises producing tracking support are mainly zhongxinbo and Trina Solar. However, due to the accelerated development of the global tracking stent market, the R & D investment of tracking stent enterprises is increasing, the awareness of patent protection is becoming stronger and stronger, rich product production and operation experience has been accumulated, and the products of tracking stent are becoming more and more mature. With the intensified competition of photovoltaic ground power stations and the decline of yield, developers hope to find products with high return on investment, which increases the demand for tracking support. In recent years, with the growth of photovoltaic demand and the improvement of tracking support cost performance, the global tracking support shipment has increased rapidly.
