  • Abstract
    It is known as photovoltaic (PV) panels have a low energy efficiency. A solution of increasing energy efficiency consists in use of sunlight concentrating elements equipped with automatic tracking systems. This paper presents aspects of designing an automaton for PV panels tracking system fitted with low sunlight concentrating elements.
