Abstract :
People in underprivileged countries could benefit from the use of a solar distributed generation system. The tracking module is designed with the help of the stepper motor which does not require sensors for tracking. This can be done by knowing the step angle. Calculations of step angle and solar radiations are made by finding some of the angular positions to result in intensity and step angles.
