“…In order to test concentrating solar collectors, some studies adapted the collector model from the European Standard EN 12975-2 (EN 12975-2, 2006) to a parabolic trough collector (PTC) (Rojas et al, 2008;Fischer et al, 2006;Janotte et al, 2009), but the issue of the tracking accuracy was not analyzed because the standards does not mention it (for more details on tracking accuracy see Sallaberry et al, 2015). Some studies were focused on large size CPC or flat-plate with reflectors (Perers et al, 1994;Rö nnelid et al, 1996;Rö nnelid and Karlsson, 1996;Perers et al, 1993), and on the difficulties associated with its size.…”

“…Renewable energy sources are friendlier to the environment and more sustainable compared to fossil fuels Renewable energy includes several forms such as solar and wind energy [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The sun tracking system in different solar energy applications plays an important role where its benefits over the fixed systems not limited to the power and efficiency gains and increase, but also in the large-scale solar energy applications economic analyses [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…The predominant two categories of tracking-single and dual axis tracking-have different features compared to each other. Although the dual-axis tracking is more complicated and has a higher cost, which uses more instruments and equipment [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Solar tracking systems can be divided into two main types, namely, active and passive solar tracking systems.…”

our energy needs increase day by day, so the search for a renewable source of energy has become a necessity of life. Photovoltaic solar energy (PVSE) is one of the most important sources in our community because it is clean and renewable. This paper discusses improvement the production energy from this source by using practical design of single axis solar tracking system. The designed solar tracking system used microcontroller Arduino Mega, real time clock (RTC), limit switches and servo motor. The mechanism of the designed solar tracker is applied by moving the solar structure to track the sun on better angle to be perpendicular to the sun to get the most energy from it using the RTC and limit switches. Comparison between solar tracking system and fixed system reveal that the system is more economic and larger power production. This tracking system is designed and tested in real environmental in Qena governorate in Egypt. The 10 kW solar power plants are used as a case study for this system. Comparison between the proposed solar tracking system and the solar fixed system for the
