Multidimensional Sun Tracking Models for Maximum Power Generation

This paper discusses the solar tracker, its types, solar power technologies. In addition, this paper provides survey of design, programming and results of a device that achieved low power consumption. The system has dual-axes tracking controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) using a astronomical calculations which are precalculated using the altitude and azimuth of the sun. On a clear and sunny day, the power generated from the tracker is significantly higher than the non-tracking surface unit.
