It moves the solar panel in a single direction along a horizontal plane while maintaining one tilt angle. Automatic tilting of solar panels to match the sun''s position throughout the day can increase power production by 10 % to 25%. This is a range because there''re some climatic conditions and latitude considerations to take into account.
