11b(i)
Case 1: Single Axis A single axis tracker is an automatic season tracker which tracks the sun based only on weather hence it will be slightly expensive than a fixed solar module but cheaper than a dual axis model.370.3703704OMR
43
11b(ii)
Case 2: Dual Axis A dual axis tracker is an automatic, season and sun tracker which adjusts the module according to the sun based on both the radiation and weather, hence it will be more expensive.1481.481481OMR
