Abstract :
The paper is presenting an optimizing control algorithm for PV soft sun trackers. The study is dealing with a covering problem with a time intervals set [S, D]. The set covers the duration of any day of the year from sunrise to sunset. A very important result of the proposed algorithm consists in the fact the number of the movements of the PV is reduced to less than the half in comparison with the other sensor based trackers
