• Abstract:

  Taking advantage of renewable energies is a viable way to continue supplying electric energy without affecting our environment and avoiding the growth of the environmental impact against our planet. There are several forms of renewable energies, and solar energy is one of the most convenient to take as a solution to generate electricity in our country. Photovoltaic cells will increase their efficiency if they are included in systems with sunflower effect or also called Smartflower. The purpose of designing and implementing a solar tracker is to carry out a study to analyze the solar-electric energy efficiency of dynamic photovoltaic systems. In this article the solar tracker is presented together with the first results of the study.
