DEVELOPMENT OF A GRAVITATIONAL AND PENDULUM SOLAR TRACKER FOR STANDALONE PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS by Jorge A. Wissmann, Carlos E. C. Nogueira, Marcelo M. M. Zampiva, Jair A. C. Siqueira, Doglas Bassegio

“…A tracking prototype was developed whose structure is classified as chronological due to its fixed rotation, manual as it requires daily adjustment, single-axis azimuthal, and "analog" as it lacks motors, sensors, or algorithms. The results showed that the developed tracking prototype achieved a 9.69% energy production increase during the research period, with peaks of 35.51% on sunny days, and a significant efficiency improvement during the early morning and late afternoon. …”
