To address the issues of high cost, complex operation and maintenance of traditional dual-axis tracking systems, and low efficiency of fixed supports in photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, this paper proposes a trajectory optimization method for quasi-dual-axis PV tracking supports based on astronomical algorithms and software simulation.This method calculates the solar altitude angle and azimuth angle using astronomical algorithms, and constructs an equivalent model in combination with PVsyst software. Without the need for hardware modification, it adjusts the trajectory through software-driven control to achieve trajectory optimization, effectively solving the problems of high cost and complex operation and maintenance of traditional dual-axis tracking systems.Simulation and experimental results show that the radiation amount of the quasi-dual-axis support after trajectory optimization is significantly increased compared with that before trajectory optimization, with an increase rate of 14.56% and 8.29% respectively.
