The main aim of any automatic STS is to maximize the amount of sunlight that the solar concentrator or module will receive, resulting in the maximization of the overall energy outputs of the system. Solar tracking can be performed in two ways: single-axis tracking and double-axis tracking.
A photovoltaic solar tracker is a mechanical device to rotate PV panels to achieve an optimal angle concerning the sun's rays. The greater the perpendicular alignment with the sun's rays, the greater the efficiency. For this reason, installing solar panels with a photovoltaic tracker improves the performance of the electrical energy output.
