Against the backdrop of increasingly tight land resources and the continuous growth of energy demand, solar power stations in Southeast Asia are undergoing a new round of technological upgrades. Recently, solar tracking systems capable of real-time tracking of the sun’s trajectory have been widely applied in several large-scale photovoltaic power stations in this region. By enhancing the efficiency of light energy capture, they have significantly improved the overall power generation benefits of the power stations.
Vietnam: Efficient utilization of limited land resources
In the large-scale photovoltaic power station in Ninh Thuan Province, Vietnam, the single-axis solar tracking system is playing a significant role. This system controls the Angle of the support through precise algorithms, ensuring that the photovoltaic panels always maintain the optimal Angle with the sunlight. Project operation data shows that compared with traditional fixed photovoltaic power stations, the average daily power generation of power stations using tracking systems has increased by up to 18%, and during the sunny period of the dry season, the power generation increase can even reach 25%.
The Philippines: Addressing the challenges of Complex terrain
The mountain photovoltaic power station on Luzon Island in the Philippines innovatively adopts a dual-axis tracking system. This system can not only track the daily movement of the sun, but also adjust the tilt Angle according to the seasonal changes, effectively adapting to the local variable terrain conditions. Especially in areas with steep slopes, the dual-axis tracking system has successfully compensated for the insufficient installation Angle caused by terrain restrictions by optimizing the collection of light energy, making the power generation efficiency of mountain power stations approach that of plain areas.
Indonesia: Breaking through the limitations of climate conditions
In the solar power station in Bali, Indonesia, the intelligent tracking system has demonstrated unique advantages. This system is equipped with a weather perception module. When strong wind weather is predicted, it automatically adjusts the photovoltaic panels to the wind-resistant Angle. On cloudy days, the mode is optimized through scattered light to maximize the capture of diffuse radiation. This intelligent feature enables the power station to maintain a stable power output even during the rainy season, with an annual power generation increase of 22% compared to fixed systems.
Thailand: Innovative Practices of Agrivoltaic Integration
In the agrisolar complementary project in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the solar tracking system has achieved dual benefits. By precisely controlling the Angle of the panel, it not only ensures the appropriate light for the crops but also optimizes the power generation efficiency. The tracking system also created a dynamic shading effect, increasing the yield of certain shade-loving crops by 15%, truly achieving “one piece of land, two harvests”.
Malaysia: A Model of intelligent operation and maintenance
The floating photovoltaic power station in Johor, Malaysia, perfectly combines solar tracking with intelligent operation and maintenance. This system, through cloud-based collaborative control, can centrally manage thousands of tracking units simultaneously, significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs. Real-time monitoring data shows that the efficiency of this power station has increased by 20% compared with traditional floating photovoltaic power stations.
Technology empowerment
These solar tracking systems are generally equipped with intelligent control modules that can proactively adjust their operation strategies based on meteorological data. The system automatically enters wind-resistant mode during typhoon seasons and initiates cleaning reminders after sandstorm weather. These intelligent features significantly enhance the environmental adaptability of the system.
Industry Outlook
According to the Southeast Asia Renewable Energy Association, by 2026, the proportion of newly built large-scale photovoltaic power stations in the region that adopt tracking systems will exceed 60%. The popularization of this technology is driving the solar energy industry in Southeast Asia to transform from “scale expansion” to “quality improvement”, injecting new impetus into the regional energy transition.
From the Kinh Plain in Vietnam to the northern mountainous areas of Thailand, from the Philippine Islands to the Malay Peninsula, solar tracking technology is demonstrating strong application potential across Southeast Asia. With the continuous maturation of technology and the sustained decline in costs, this innovation is reshaping the development pattern of the solar energy industry in Southeast Asia, providing a stronger impetus for the development of regional clean energy.
