The use of solar energy can be encouraged in several ways, such as monitoring or subsidies, as well as through solar systems that follow the sun''s path—called tracking solar systems. The main goal of tracking systems is to increase the energy yield, which according to previously conducted research and studies ranges between 22% and …
Sidek et al. [82] designed and implemented a dual-axis open loop solar tracking system that can automatically position itself by using a Global Positioning System(GPS).The proposed system used the sun trajectory path algorithm to position the solar trackers due to the sun position in the sky. Several devices were used to build the …
