This paper describes an automatic sun tracking system, based on two stepper motors, and moving solar panel. To gain more energy from the sun, the active surface of the solar cells should be perpendicular to solar radiation, which means that the panel must follow the path of the sun all the time.
A solar panel precisely perpendicular to the sun produces more power than one not aligned. The main application of solar tracking system is to position solar photovoltaic (PV) panels towards the Sun. Most commonly they are used with mirrors to redirect sunlight on the panels.
Peter Amaize et al constructed a model of Automatic solar tracker system that includes incorporates Arduino within the system. LDR was used in the model to check the intensity of sunlight, also the servomotor is used to contr ol the movement of the solar panel. The paper
Active solar tracking system is the system that determines the position of the sun path in the sky during the day with the sensors. These sensors trigger the motor or actuator to move the drive system to the system towards the sun throughout the day.
A single-axis solar tracking system uses a tilted PV panel mount and one electric motor to move the panel on an approximate trajectory relative to the Sun's position. The rotation axis can be horizontal, vertical, or oblique.

Working Principle of Solar Tracking System. Understanding the working principle of a solar tracking system isn''t complex. The basic concept of a solar tracker involves the movement of the solar panel or mirror to face the sun as it moves across the sky.

Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant form of energy that can be obtained from the Sun. Solar panels convert this energy to generate solar power, which can be used for various electrical purposes, particularly in rural areas. Maximum solar power can be generated only when the Sun is perpendicular to the panel, which can be achieved only for a …

A solar tracking system, or simply a solar tracker, enables a PV panel, concentrating solar power system or any other solar application to follow the sun while compensating for changes in the azimuth, latitude angle, and altitude of the sun [9].
Working Principle Of Solar Tracking System. There are two different drivers that dictate the motion of the trackers: The very first one is passive, and the other one is active. • Passive trackers are solely dependent on solar heat to guide and move the tracker. Basically, a low boiling point compressed gas fluid is driven at one side or the other to move the tracker in …
