It is noticeable that the dual-axis tracker has the highest energy yield but it is not economical due to its inability to compensate for its higher cost in comparison with all the single-axis trackers as shown in Table 15. For example in Onitsha using Perez model, the choice of dual-axis tracker over EW tracker comes with an increased PV energy yield of 2.9% but at an

This review discusses the latest design approaches to dual-axis solar trackers by underlining their role in the development of solar energy efficiency and sustainability.
Abstract— Sun is a source of energy. Solar energy can be used abundantly using solar panel. Conversion efficiency depend on the intensity of sun light,the intensity depends on season and position of the sun. If the sun rays reach in perpendicular direc-tion, efficiency increases. So we have to tilt the panel according to the sun''s position.
The low efficiency of the conventional solar conversion techniques is because, the photovoltaic system produces more energy. Venkatarao Dadi and Swapna Peravali [24] (2020) suggested a system for dual-axis solar tracking that has been optimized to increase power gain. This system''s optimization captures the maximum intensity of the sun
The single-axis direct solar irradiance (I 1) presented in Fig. 17 is derived from the direct solar irradiance (I 0) measured by the instrument shown in Fig. 7 (c), which is calculated based on dual-axis tracking. For the single-axis system tracking in the north-south direction, the change in east-west incident angle must be considered to make the data more comparable.
