Costs and environmental damage are increasing due to limited energy resources. It is important that renewable energy sources create hope in meeting new energy needs. Significant developments have been made in solar energy, one of these energy sources. Solar tracking systems that increase the efficiency of PV systems are used in studies to generate electricity from solar energy. In this study, a two-axis tracking system was controlled by PLC method. The tracking process, which moves according to the determined sun orbits, was carried out with a mechanism designed with two axes.
