The fundamental principle of PV tracking brackets lies in minimizing the angle of incidence between incoming sunlight and PV panels, thereby reducing cosine error and maximizing the absorption of direct solar radiation-which accounts for approximately 90% of total solar energy. . By dynamically adjusting the orientation of solar panels to align with the sun's trajectory, these brackets significantly enhance power generation efficiency compared to fixed. As solar technology advances. . ng, manual tracking, and chronological tracking. The paper described the variou mparing it with a fixed PV system (Sidek. Results indicate significantly higher energy generationwith the solar t acker,especially under clear wea a subsystem for supporting a complete PV system. Throughout the. . Photovoltaic tracking bracket is a supporting device that adjusts the angle in real time to follow the sun's azimuth (east-west direction) and altitude angle (north-south direction) through mechanical and electronic control systems, providing an optimal light-receiving posture for solar panels. Tracking systems that track solar panels as they follow the sun across the sky have long been available, but recent breakthroughs. . The energy output of photovoltaic tracking systems is influenced by several factors,including the photovoltaic material,geographical location of solar irradiances,ambient temperature and weather,angle of sun incidence,and orientation of the panel.
