One of the primary factors driving the growth of solar tracker market is a huge increase in the number of solar panel installations around the world. Moreover, the solar tracker market is growing due to the introduction of favorable government regulations that promote various solar energy projects.

Due to the increased industrial demand for sophisticated technology for tracking reasons, companies are concentrating on developing advanced technology-based products. For growing their geographical reach and product portfolio, manufacturing organizations use a variety of organic and inorganic expansion tactics. The key market players’ strategic approach revolves around securing large buy orders, as this helps them to realize to economic growth. The tracker research and development are a key differentiator for industry players.

A solar tracker’s other key goal is to save energy and increase operational efficiency. This is due to the fact that solar trackers are distinct energy consuming organizations that are attached to solar panels in order to improve their performance. Furthermore, solar trackers must provide operational reliability across a variety of operating conditions, as any impact on tracker application performance can have a significant impact on the overall performance of solar panels or power systems.

Evolving Efficiency and Automation Drive the Trend in Solar Tracker Market

The solar tracker market is witnessing a shift toward advanced automation and AI-driven systems to optimize solar panel positioning. Dual-axis trackers are gaining traction for their improved energy yield over single-axis variants. Integration with IoT and predictive analytics is enabling real-time monitoring and fault detection, enhancing reliability. Additionally, there’s a growing preference for decentralized systems in off-grid applications. These trends reflect an industry push toward maximizing efficiency, reducing operational costs, and supporting the expansion of utility-scale solar installations.

In March 2025, Goldi Solar launches an AI-powered solar manufacturing line. Goldi Solar has opened a PV module manufacturing line, powered by automated optical inspection (AOI) and artificial intelligence. AI-powered automation enhances consistency and precision while minimizing errors and material waste.

Market Scope

Product Insights

The single axis tracker segment accounted largest revenue share of 90% in 2024. Single axis trackers typically move from east to west, following the sun’s path. Single axis trackers are inexpensive, easy to setup, and operate at a minimal cost. They outperform dual axis trackers in terms of reliability. Dual axis trackers have a shorter lifespan than single axis trackers. Single axis trackers are ideal for businesses looking for a low-cost solution.

The dual axis tracker segment is projected to witness strong growth from 2025 to 2034. When compared to single axis trackers, dual axis trackers help generate 8% to 10% more energy. The dual axis trackers have a high operational and maintenance cost due to higher space needs, more sophisticated technology, and significant maintenance for motors and control systems.

Technology Insights

The solar photovoltaic (PV) segment dominated the solar tracker market in 2023. Solar photovoltaic is a modestsystem that usagessunlight to produce electricity with no working components. Solar photovoltaic systems directly absorb solar photons, which are light particles that operate as independent units of energy and either convert part of the energy to electricity or store some of the energy in a chemical reaction.

The concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) segment is fastest growing segment of the solar tracker market in 2023. Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems focus sunlight on solar cells, boosting their efficiency significantly. In a concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system, the photovoltaic cells using a lens or mirrors. To keep sunlight focused on photovoltaic cells, concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems must track the sun. The minimal capital investment, high efficiency, and low cost of system are the key benefits of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems, which allow for rapid scale up by using least expensive semiconducting photovoltaic material to meet a specific electrical output. 

Application Insights

The utility segment dominated the solar tracker market in 2023. As utility installations are ground mounted and solar trackers may be used to follow the sun during the day, single axis tracking systems are the most commonly utilized solar trackers in the utility industry. Furthermore, due to rising government subsidies and feed in tariff programs, these trackers are increasingly being employed in utility applications, particularly in developing and developed regions.

The non-utility segment is expected to grow at a fastest rate from 2024 to 2034. The residential and commercial installations make up the non-utility sector. Due to the infeasibility of using trackers due to land limits, non-utility applications have a lower market share than utility applications. In non-utility applications, installing solar trackers can be highly expensive.
