Data Triangulation
After arriving at the total market size, the overall market was split into several segments. The data triangulation procedure was used, wherever applicable, to complete the overall market engineering process and determine the exact statistics for all segments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides. Moreover, the market size was validated using top-down and bottom-up approaches. Hence, there are three sources for each data segment: the top-down approach, the bottom-up approach, and interviews with experts. Only when the values from the three points matched, the data was assumed to be correct.
Market Definition
A solar tracker is an advanced mechanical system designed to optimize solar energy capture by dynamically adjusting the orientation of solar panels or other photovoltaic applications to maintain direct alignment with the sun's trajectory throughout the day. This technology is particularly advantageous in high-latitude regions, where seasonal variations in solar irradiance are significant. Solar trackers can increase electricity generation by approximately 30%, with reported enhancements reaching up to 40% in some locales, thereby improving overall energy yield and efficiency under varying solar conditions. The most popular uses of solar trackers are for orienting space observatories to detect the sun's direction and for positioning photovoltaic (PV) panels, or solar panels, to ensure that they stay perpendicular to the sun's rays. PV solar trackers adjust the direction of solar panels to follow the sun's movement across the sky. By keeping the panels perpendicular to the sun, they receive more sunlight, which reduces reflection and increases energy absorption. This process allows for greater power production from the captured energy.
