The main idea is not to reap energy from the sun but to collect & store maximum amount of energy from it. Thus for maximum efficiency from solar power generation system, solar collection panel should be kept always facing towards the sun. to achieve this continuous monitoring of the position of the panel relative to the sun has to be done & it has to be rotated so that it tracks the sun. this concept can be implemented by dc motor (gear type) system & electronic circuitry. This system is called as solar tracking system. It is basically an attachment with solar panel to give the best result.
