Solar Tracker Market Report 2026

The solar tracker market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $12 billion in 2025 to $13.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing installation of fixed-tilt solar systems, early experimentation with single-axis trackers, rising deployment in utility-scale solar farms, growth in csp-based pilot projects, increasing demand for higher energy yields.

The solar tracker market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of dual-axis trackers, expansion of pv-based utility projects, development of AI-optimized panel positioning, growth in tracker deployment for commercial and industrial rooftops, increasing emphasis on carbon-efficient power generation. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of sustainable solar tracking technologies, advancement of autonomous tracking systems, development of smart factory-enabled tracker production, growth of IoT-based solar performance optimization, adoption of AI-driven sun positioning algorithms.

The rising power demand for renewable energy sources is expected to propel the growth of the solar tracker market. Renewable energy refers to energy derived from naturally replenishing sources such as sunlight, rain, geothermal heat, and ocean waves. Solar trackers support renewable energy generation by adjusting the position of solar panels to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day. For example, in 2023, according to a report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S.-based government agency, utility-scale electricity generation from hydropower in the United States reached 240 billion kWh, accounting for 5.7% of total energy production. Therefore, the increasing demand for renewable energy sources is driving the growth of the solar tracker market.

Leading companies in the solar tracker market are developing advanced low-carbon technologies to improve energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and support sustainable energy development. Low-carbon technologies are innovations designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by enhancing energy performance or relying on renewable energy inputs. For instance, in April 2024, Nextracker, an India-based manufacturer of advanced solar tracking systems, introduced the NX Horizon low-carbon solar tracker. This system utilizes Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology, which processes recycled steel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional steel manufacturing methods that depend on iron ore and coal. This approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also supports the U.S. steel industry by relying on domestic scrap steel supplies.

In February 2025, Kinematics, a U.S.-based provider of advanced robotics and automation solutions, acquired P4Q for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Kinematics aims to strengthen its technological capabilities and expand its full-stack software offerings, enhancing its position in the automation and robotics market. P4Q is a U.S.-based provider of full-stack technology solutions specializing in software development and system integration for industrial applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the solar tracker for power generation market by increasing the cost of imported steel structures, motors, sensors, and control systems used in tracker assembly. Utility-scale solar developers in North America, Europe, and emerging Asian markets face elevated project costs and longer installation timelines. However, tariffs are driving regional fabrication of tracker components, encouraging supply chain diversification, and accelerating innovation in cost-efficient, high-durability tracker systems that support long-term renewable energy expansion.

The solar tracker market research report is one of a series of new reports that provides solar tracker market statistics, including solar tracker industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a solar tracker market share, detailed solar tracker market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the solar tracker industry. This solar tracker market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

A solar tracker is a system designed to position solar panels at an optimal angle relative to the sun, allowing them to absorb more sunlight and generate increased electricity. Active solar tracking systems utilize powered machinery, such as gears and motors, to move solar panels, while passive trackers achieve motion by utilizing the sun's heat to compress liquid.

The main types of solar trackers include single-axis and dual-axis systems. A single-axis solar tracking system moves a photovoltaic (PV) panel on an approximate trajectory relative to the Sun's position, utilizing a tilted PV panel mount and one electric motor. The axis of rotation can be horizontal, vertical, or oblique. Solar trackers are deployed in various technologies, including solar photovoltaic (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP), and concentrated photovoltaic (CPV). These trackers find applications in residential, commercial, industrial, and utility settings.North America was the largest region in the solar tracker for power generation market in 2025.
