Design and Validation of a Passive Solar Tracking Sensor Based on Gnomon Shadow Analysis
International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Solar tracking is essential for efficiency, yet current market solutions present a trade‐off: Active systems are precise but expensive and computationally demanding, while low‐cost passive systems (e.g., LDRs) often lack accuracy. To address this gap, this work presents the design and validation of a passive solar tracking sensor based on gnomon shadow
