Abstract
For several hours of service, stationary solar energy systems produce less than their maximum power output. This is because solar panels produce their highest peak power while they are perpendicular to the sun's light, which occurs only for a brief period of time during the day while the panel is stationary. Solar tracking systems have been around for a long time and solve this problem. Some systems use light sensor arrays to monitor the sun's light intensity, while others depend on mathematical models with no external sensors that simply set the angle of the panel at specific times during the day. This project's engineering design phase is split into two semesters, with the first semester's design process having already been detailed in the first article. The aim of this document is to show how to develop, test, and analyse a low-cost solar tracking system primary design that best addresses the problem statement.
