The solar tracker drive systems encompassed five categories based on the tracking technologies, namely, active tracking, passive tracking, semi-passive tracking, manual tracking, and chronological tracking. The paper described the various designs and components of the tracking systems.
Active solar tracking systems are systems that use motors, gears, and other controllers to direct the photovoltaic panels toward the sun. Active tracker systems come in several varieties that can be classified into a few categories.
The tracking angles depend on the site latitude and climatic conditions. There are two main solar tracking systems types that depend on the movement degree of freedom are single axis solar tracking system and dual axis solar tracking system.
The driving method is important in controlling solar tracking systems. Selecting a suitable tracking principle and an efficient driving method to control solar tracking systems is difficult but important. Solar tracking systems can be divided into two main types, active and passive.
This paper presents a thorough review of state-of-the-art research and literature in the field of photovoltaic tracking systems for the production of electrical energy. A review of the literature is performed mainly for the field of solar photovoltaic tracking systems, which gives this paper the necessary foundation.
Several sun tracking systems are evaluated and showed to keep the solar panels, solar concentrators, or other solar applications as the recent studies of single axis tracking [1–43], dual axis tracking [44–85], single and dual axis tracking [86–107] with respect to the tracking systems types.
