Abstract

Solar tracking drives can be broadly classified as active or passive. Passive drives are mechanical and active drives are electrical or electronics. In this paper, a review of the some recent published techniques for photovoltaic tracking drives is presented. Based on functionality, the published techniques are compared. Active drives are shown to be more efficient when compared with the passive drives but they required power. However, in terms of flexibility and cost, passive drives are more viable than active drives. The merits and demerits of each drives are concluded.
