efficient-photovoltaic-system-that-tracks-the-sun
This project is solving the ExoMars Rover is My Robot challenge. Description
There are a number of good reasons to choose to tracking stationary (fixed position relative to the sun) photovoltaic system (save space and funds from large areas of photovoltaics, ceteris paribus, to produce the same output tracking system will need much less space compared with the stationary). When using the two axis tracking system under which the time of perpendicularity between the panels and the sun is larger, increasing the efficiency of the panel by about 35-40%.
