Solar tracking systems (TS) improve the efficiency of photovoltaic modules by dynamically adjusting their orientation to follow the path of the sun. The target of this paper is, therefore, to give an extensive review of the technical and economic aspects of the solar TS, covering the design aspects, difficulties, and prospects.
Trackers that are automatic as well as motorized have also been introduced in the progress of solar PV TS. A new generation of tracking systems appeared in the 1980 s, with the improvement of the sensor equipment in combination with electronics that can automatically turn the placed PV-modules to the right angle.
As a result, there remains ample room for advancements in efficiency to fully harness the potential of solar energy for widespread use and adoption. The enhancement of PV power generation can be achieved through the utilization of tracking technology.
Consequently, the main metrics available in the literature for the comparison of solar tracking systems relate to aspects such as annual energy gain, which can be evaluated in terms of the power output ratio, local latitude, and solar radiation , .
Technological innovations and future directions The technological innovations and future directions of solar tracking systems contain (i) emerging technologies in solar PV tracking, (ii) research and development trends, and (iii) predictions for the future of solar PV tracking systems.
Early tracking systems The early solar TSs were simple and mostly mechanical. These systems were intended to track the movement of the sun across the sky in order to increase the amounts of Solar energy harnessed by PV modules.
