The concentrator photovoltaic modules efficiency and their power generation are strongly dependent on the accuracy of their orientation by a tracking system towards the Sun. The more the solar cell power concentration ratio, the more stringent requirements are imposed on the module’s guidance system and tracking accuracy in the direction of the Sun. Effectiveness of the proposed technical solutions for the pair “module – tracking system” is usually verified as a result of the photovoltaic installation continuous monitoring. Such solutions for the specialized complex are presented, which provide for both control over the operating modes of the turning system used for the modules orientation to the Sun and tracking accuracy continuous monitoring, as well as regular monitoring of the modules output parameters in a photovoltaic installation.
