Solar energy is an essential source of renewable energy. The solar system harnesses the power of the sun to generate heat or electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels. By monitoring the sun's path across the sky, a system known as single-axis solar tracking adjusts the angle of solar panels to maximize energy production. In this paper, a comparison between the solar energy generated by fixed-angle solar systems and single-axis solar tracking systems is presented under similar conditions. This paper focuses on the single-axis solar tracking system developed which is a simple and non-complicated design with no programming logic control (PLC) system. The paper also highlights the advantages of incorporating tracking technology into solar installations. The main advantage of the single-axis solar tracking system over the fixed-angle solar system is that the former gives a higher energy yield and the design of the single-axis solar tracking system is also very cost effective.
