Standard [[solcelle]] trackers anvendes for at minimere vinklen mellem indstrålingsvinklen og [[Normal (matematik)|normalen]] til solpanelet. Dette øger mængden af energi som produceres i forhold til et fast monteret solpanel. I standard solcelleanvendelser estimeres det at sol-trackers anvendes i mindst 85% af kommercielle installationer større end 1MW fra 2009 til 2012.<ref>[http://www.redorbit.com/news/business/1580656/customers_recognize_the_power_of_solar_tracking_by_selecting_raytracker/index.html Customers Recognize the Power of Solar Tracking By Selecting RayTracker GC for Their PV Installations – Business News – redOrbit<!-- Bot genereret titel -->]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://solar.coolerplanet.com/News/4080902-tracking-systems-vital-to-solar-success.aspx |title=Tracking Systems Vital to Solar Success {{!}} Cooler Planet News<!-- Bot genereret titel --> |access-date=14. oktober 2010 |archive-date= 8. februar 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208200829/http://solar.coolerplanet.com/News/4080902-tracking-systems-vital-to-solar-success.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref>
