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.
Fig. 1 shows the circuit of the solar tracking system. The solar tracker comprises comparator IC LM339, H-bridge motor driver IC L293D (IC2) and a few discrete components. Light-dependent resistors LDR1 through LDR4 are used as sensors to detect the panel’s position relative to the sun.

You need to consider factors like climate, space, and shading before deciding on solar tracking. These tracking systems offer the most benefits in locations with high latitudes due to the sun’s yearly movements. In conclusion, positioning a solar tracker directs the solar panels at an angle toward the sun.
Components of a solar tracker include: Tracker Mount: Holds the panel in the correct inclined position. Driver: Controls the rotation of the motor shaft. Sensors: Detect parameters induced by the sun and provide output. Motor: Controls the tracker’s movement. Algorithm: Calculates the sun’s position using time, date, and geographical location.
Maximum solar power can be generated only when the Sun is perpendicular to the panel, which can be achieved only for a few hours when using a fixed solar panel system, hence the development of an automatic solar tracking system.
