This paper presents the performance study of single axis tracking system compared static PV system. To increase the efficiency of PV System. We designed a simple and cost effective 170W sun tracking system for the experiment. The whole experimental setup has been implemented in SimulinkTM platform for the analysis of improved efficiency. The objective of this paper to optimize the solar energy receivers. In this paper, a Simulink model of the static PV system and Tracking PV system has been presented. In the fabrication of real sun tracker system we used a 24 VDC motor and a simple LDR based control circuit for the tracking purpose. The block diagram with detailed description and performance of the tracking system are presented.
