Comprehensive Methodology to Evaluate Parasitic Energy Consumption for Different Types of Dual-Axis Sun Tracking Systems by Ming-Hui Tan, Tze-Koon Wang, Chee-Woon Wong, Kok-Keong Chong, Boon-Han Lim, Tiong-Keat Yew, Woei-Chong Tan, An-Chow Lai

“…., the azimuth-elevation sun tracking system (AE-STS), polar dual-axis sun tracking system (PD-STS), and horizontal dual-axis sun tracking system (HD-STS). The simulated results indicate that the dual-axis sun tracking system with the nonfixed parking (or stow) position has lower yearly cumulative parasitic energy consumption with respect to the sun tracking system with a fixed parking position. …”
