Solar tracking systems (STS) are essential to enhancing solar energy harvesting efficiency. This study investigates the effectiveness of STS for improving the energy output of Photovoltaic (PV) panels. Optimizing solar energy capture is crucial as the demand for renewable energy sources continues to rise.
The solar panel uses photovoltaic cells (PV cells). The PV cells detect the light intensity, and according to that, the tracker adjusts the direction of the solar panel to the position of the sun in the sky. When the tracker moves the panel perpendicular to the sun, more sunlight strikes the solar panel and less light is reflected. Hence, it

Overview of Solar Tracking System. Solar tracking systems primarily come in two types: single-axis and dual-axis. Single-axis trackers move along one axis, typically following the sun''s east-west path across the sky. Dual-axis trackers, on the other hand, adjust in two directions, allowing more precise alignment with the sun to maximize energy production. The
