| Popis: | The renewable energy is a source of energy that does not deplete with time, because of this most of the research focused on this source of energy. Solar energy is among the renewable energy that is free in nature and clean from pollution, but harnessing this energy has limitation due to some environmental conditions. To solve this problem, solar tracking is used. This paper intended to review different solar tracking system that increases the solar power output. The result revealed the solar system with tracking is more efficient compared to that fixed solar system. Furthermore, dual axis tracking system is also more efficient than single axis tracking system due to the fact that dual axis tracking system have ability to track the solar irradiant on both axes. Finally, it is not recommended to use solar trackers with small PV arrays because of the energy consumption of the driving systems, which vary from 2% to 3% of the energy increase delivered by the solar trackers. |
