HelioWatcher: Automatic Sun-Tracking Solar Panel and Data Analytics. Created by Jason Wright (jpw97) and Jeremy Blum (jeb373) for Cornell University''s ECE4760 course. Introduction. We designed and built a system to automatically orient a solar panel for maximum efficiency, record data, and safely charge batteries.
Each LDR sensor was confined inside a rectangular pipe to help the collimation of direct solar irradiance and to reduce the effect of reflected and diffuse solar irradiances.
In this paper, mechanism design for solar trackers is discussed in terms of serial and parallel architectures that are analyzed to characterize the feasible performance of mechanism solutions that can fully track the sun during its diurnal east-to-west and seasonal north-south motions.

Clifford et al. [4] designed a single-axis passive solar tracking system at the equator region with low-cost activation by using thermal deflection of aluminum/steel bimetallic strips, causing an imbalance in the panel weight and making panel movement possible in the direction of the sun.The movement was regulated by a viscous damper. The designed passive
A dual-axis tracker enables your panels to rotate on two axes simultaneously. It is aligned horizontally as well as vertically, i.e., it can adjust in all directions – North, South, East, And West.

Single-Axis trackers adjust panels by rotating around 1 axis, typically aligned from North to South. Dual-Axis solar trackers enable panels to rotate on 2 axes, horizontally and vertically. Also, go through the Types of Solar PV Modules Mounting Structure
A solar tracking system is a specific device intended to move the PV modules in such a way that they continuously face the sun with the aim of maximizing the irradiation received by the PV array. A solar tracking system is composed of three well-differentiated components: the mechanism, the driving motors, and the tracking controller. 3.1.2.1
A solar tracker should be positioned at the solar panels at an angle directed to the sun. It is an advanced sun monitoring system that can rotate the panels to track the movement of the sun across the sky.

Most tracking systems installations are active solar tracking systems. These tracking systems have an energy supply to run a motor or mechanical device. It helps to tilt the attached solar panels directly. An active solar tracker determines the intensity of the sunlight by utilising light sensors.
A solar tracking system is composed of three well-differentiated components: the mechanism, the driving motors, and the tracking controller. The mechanism is the part of the tracking system responsible for providing the follower with precision in tracking.
Solar panels tracking systems consist of a mechanical tracking system that usually uses mechanical components (tracker mounting, motor and motor controller, sensors, drives and tracker solving algorithm) to capture the maximum amount of energy from the sun in a whole day.
In this configuration, the rotation axis is placed parallel to the ground and in an east–west direction. In this way, the panels can rotate only to follow the Sun at its altitude angle, correcting the position of the panels every day due to the Sun's declination.
