Solar Tracking

Solar energy is becoming one of the most expanding renewable energy and is getting more prominence. Sun trackers can substantially improve the electricity production of a photovoltaic (PV) system. This repository proposes design and simulation of a dual-axis solar tracking PV system with and without feedback control.

It could be observed that how the feedback control loop provides robust system performance.
