Photovoltaic panels tracking the sun
Solar tracking technology adjusts solar panels toward the sun's position to increase the amount of direct sunlight striking the panels throughout the day. Thanks to their design, they can adjust their axis and accurately orient the photovoltaic panels to point towards the optimal position of the sun, which allows solar energy to be collected. A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the Sun. Payloads are usually solar panels, parabolic troughs, Fresnel reflectors, lenses, or the mirrors of a heliostat. For flat-panel photovoltaic systems, trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming sunlight. This review provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of recent advancements in solar tracking systems (STSs) aimed at improving the efficiency and adaptability of photovoltaic (PV) technologies.
