Abstract

Sun tracking solar panel systems, focusing on 
their design, functionality, and benefits. Sun 
tracking systems optimize solar panel orientation 
to maximize energy generation by continuously 
adjusting panel angles to follow the sun's path 
throughout the day. The abstract outlines the key 
components of sun tracking systems, including 
sensors, actuators, and control algorithms, 
highlighting their role in achieving high 
efficiency and energy output. Additionally, it 
discusses the advantages of sun tracking systems 
over fixed-tilt panels, such as increased energy 
production and improved return on investment. 
The abstract concludes with a summary of current 
research trends and future directions in the field 
of sun tracking solar panel technology.The design 
considerations encompass various factors such as 
accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. 
Integration of efficient algorithms for sun 
tracking, 
along 
components, ensures precise alignment of the 
solar panels with the sun's position throughout 
the day. Additionally, the system incorporates 
safety features to mitigate potential hazards and 
protect the components from adverse weather 
conditions.The increasing demand for sustainable 
energy sources has led to a surge in the adoption 
of solar power as a reliable alternative to 
conventional energy. However, a key challenge in 
solar energy harvesting is the efficient utilization 
of available sunlight, given the fixed orientation 
of 
conventional solar panels. Solar panels 
generally perform best when they are directly 
aligned with the sun, but due to the Earth's 
rotation, a fixed panel loses efficiency as the sun's 
position in the sky changes throughout the day. 
This problem can be addressed with a sun
tracking solar panel, which is designed to follow 
the sun's movement, thereby maximizing the solar 
energy captured.
