This paper provides a detailed literature review and highlights some key advancements and challenges associated with state-of-the-art automatic solar tracking systems. It discusses two primary types: single-axis and dual-axis trackers. Single-axis trackers follow the sun's daily east-to-west movement, significantly. . These trackers are commonly used for positioning solar panels to maximize sunlight exposure. A smaller angle of incidence results in increased energy production by a solar PV panel. They could be passive with no motors or gears or active incorporating the usage of a PLC, a micro-controller, or other controlling systems to be classified in various ways. Azimuthal and elevation-tracking mechanisms are included in the proposed system, and a feedback. . Solar panels are pivotal in harnessing solar energy, a clean and sustainable resource derived from nuclear fusion reactions within the sun.
