Performance Analysis of Dual Axis Solar Tracker

Abstract: Solar tracking systems have been demonstrated to increase the efficiency of standard PhotoVoltaic (PV) energy generation systems by researchers in the recent past. The current paper deals with the design, implementation and testing of a scaled-down dual-axis solar tracking PV system. The system performance is evaluated in terms of the data obtained by testing the prototype and a basic trend analysis of the data obtained is also carried out. This analysis helps in evaluating the performance of the system throughout a day.
