Typical installation costs for dual-axis solar trackers
Dual-axis solar trackers typically add $15,000–$26,000 to solar installation costs, depending on system size and components. For example:
- System comparison: A standard 4 kW fixed ground-mounted system costs ~$13,000, while adding dual-axis tracking increases this to ~$26,000 – doubling the initial cost.
- Per-panel costs: Tracking equipment ranges from $500–$1,000+ per panel, with higher-end dual-axis models at the upper end of this range.
While upfront costs are steep, dual-axis trackers can increase energy output by 30–40%+ compared to fixed systems, potentially improving long-term ROI. However, these systems require more maintenance due to moving parts and additional site preparation expenses.
