Abstract

Climate change becomes a threat to the living bodies on the planet earth. A great concerned step to save the environment is replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy resources.  Sun is a copious source of renewable energy. Solar cells tap the solar energy from sun. Solar cells convert the solar energy into plentiful utilizable form of energy. Solar cell provides more energy in response to normal fall of radiation otherwise less productive. To maximize the energy obtained from solar cell and increase the efficiency, solar tracking system tracks the movement of the sun. This scheme makes the energy more usable in domestic and commercial applications as a complementary source of power. The tracking system designed to respond in the normal direction of light in the shortest of time. Basics of solar tracking systems are discussed here for solar energy. Various Designs and components of solar tracker are technically mentioned in this paper.
