Abstract

The rapid growth of Solar Power Plant (PLTS) installations in Indonesia faces efficiency challenges due to the continuously changing position of the sun. Fixed panel systems cannot absorb solar radiation optimally throughout the day. This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficiency of various solar tracking system methods developed over the last five years using a simple literature review approach. The research method was conducted by collecting, screening, and synthesizing secondary data from five reputable scientific journals using a synthesis matrix. The review results indicate that single-axis tracking systems increase power efficiency by 15% to 24.5%. Meanwhile, dual-axis systems achieve higher efficiency, ranging from 30% to 35%, by tracking both horizontal and vertical solar movements. In terms of control systems, astronomical algorithms are found to be more reliable in cloudy weather conditions than pure light sensors. However, the internal power consumption of the actuator motors remains a critical factor that can reduce the system's net energy gain. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of shifting future research focus toward energy-saving algorithm optimization to maximize net power yield in dynamic solar panel implementations.
