The function of a single-axis solar tracker is to constantly track the movement of the sun across the sky, rotating on a single point, which optimizes the amount of sunlight collected by the solar panels. As the name suggests. The study systematically classifies solar trackers based on tracking axes (fixed, single-axis, and dual-axis), drive mechanisms (active, passive, semi-passive, manual, and chronological), and control strategies (open-loop, closed-loop, hybrid, and AI-based). Since they make panels follow the sun's direction throughout the day, the panels are able to capture more sunlight and. A critical factor in maximizing solar energy capture is the ability of solar panels to track the sun's movement throughout the day.
