Abstract :
In order to increase the efficiency of PV system, it is generally used three method the first is the increasing the efficiency of solar cell, the second is the energy conversion system included MPPT control algorithm and the third is the using solar tracking system. In solar tracking system, it is used DC motors, special motors like step motors, servo motors, real time actuators, to operate moving parts. DC motors are normally used to operate solar tracking system but it is highly expensive to maintain and repair. In this paper, it is proposed 150 W solar tracking system. Proposed system designed as the normal line of the solar cell always runs parallel the ray of the sun. In this paper proposed system can minimize the solar cosign loss of the photovoltaic system
