Abstract
Design of a solar tracking system with photovoltaic modules involves the relationships between the output power and the energy consumption of the tracking system. In this paper, a model of a single axis solar tracker with battery storage and an optimal way of setting system parameters are presented. The factors of photovoltaic module efficiency, mechanical sizing and electronic controlling are considered in the procedure of modeling, which makes contribution for maximizing the output energy and minimize the energy consumption of solar tracker.
