Abstract
Review transcript presents copious solar tracking methods to investigate their output potential and also outline tracker type, construction, cost, and design parameter. The solar follower systems encompassed five classifications based on the tracking methods are active, passive, semi-passive, manual, and chronological tracking are also reviewed with their application and feasibility. These all method-based research paper are compared on the basis of complexity of circuit, cost, tracking based on (radiation or astronomical equation), degree of freedom, control strategy, accuracy, energy intact, power or energy gain, tracing error, and panel efficiency. Basically, one axis and two axis sun following system review revels compare study against stable system which addressed their suitability and capability of maximum energy generation and MPPT technologies.Keywords
