  • Abstract:
  • Solar energy is pivotal in the transition to sustainable energy sources. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of an automatic non-electric solar tracking system using R134a refrigerant. The system employs a passive mechanism that eliminates the need for external power or complex electronics, enhancing solar panel power output by approximately 22%. Experimental results validate the system's effectiveness, demonstrating its potential as a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for maximizing solar energy capture.
