Renewable　energy　generation　plays　a　crucial　role　in　mitigating　global　climate　change　and　achieving　carbon　peak　and　carbon　neutrality　targets.　Photovoltaic　(PV)　power　is　an　important　component　of　renewable　energy　generation.　With　China＇s　commitment　to　meet　its　dual　carbon　targets　on　time,　the　application　of　PV　tracking　systems,　which　significantly　increase　the　amount　of　PV　power　generated,　has　become　a　trend　for　the　future.　However,　the　suitability　of　PV　tracking　systems　varies　significantly　between　regions.　This　paper　aims　to　assess　and　compare　the　technical　and　economic　performance　of　PV　systems　using　different　PV　tracking　systems　in　six　different　latitude　regions　in　China　under　the　consideration　of　carbon　trading.　By　utilizing　the　PVsyst　software,　the　monthly/yearly　unit　electricity　generation　of　different　tracking　systems　in　each　region　is　calculated.　Furthermore,　the　technical　and　economic　performance　of　these　systems　is　assessed　by　computing　the　levelized　cost　of　electricity　(LCOE),　net　present　value　(NPV),　and　discounted　payback　period　(DPP)　with　and　without　carbon　benefits,　taking　into　account　sensitivity　analyses.　The　results　indicate　that　the　dual-axis　tracking　(DAT)　system　achieves　the　highest　electricity　generation,　providing　a　gain　of　17.94　%–31.52　%　compared　to　the　fixed-tilt　(FT)　system.　The　horizontal　axis　tracking　North-South　(HATNS)　system　and　the　tilted-axis　tracking　(TAT)　system　are　probably　the　most　economically　viable　systems　in　areas　with　high　radiation　levels,　with　NPV　values　2.02　%–25.55　%　and　6.44　%–19.45　%　higher,　respectively,　compared　to　the　FT　system.　The　introduction　of　carbon　benefits　significantly　increases　the　economic　viability　of　all　tracking　systems.　©　2024　International　Solar　Energy　Society
