Trackers that are automatic as well as motorized have also been introduced in the progress of solar PV TS. A new generation of tracking systems appeared in the 1980 s, with the improvement of the sensor equipment in combination with electronics that can automatically turn the placed PV-modules to the right angle.
Solar tracking allows a PV module to move from one position to another in the course of the day and season to balance the power output throughout the day and extract the best out of the solar PV system. Tracking is a viable solution to enhance the power collection and the efficiency of a PV process, where SATS or DATS is used .
Solar panels tracking systems consist of a mechanical tracking system that usually uses mechanical components (tracker mounting, motor and motor controller, sensors, drives and tracker solving algorithm) to capture the maximum amount of energy from the sun in a whole day.
A solar tracking system is composed of three well-differentiated components: the mechanism, the driving motors, and the tracking controller. The mechanism is the part of the tracking system responsible for providing the follower with precision in tracking.
Consequently, the main metrics available in the literature for the comparison of solar tracking systems relate to aspects such as annual energy gain, which can be evaluated in terms of the power output ratio, local latitude, and solar radiation , .
