This review paper demonstrates an in-depth discussion of the technological development in different solar tracking systems, which is one of the important components of solar power generation. These systems play a distinctive role in raising the energy generated by moving solar panels towards the sun. This paper is concerned with shedding light on the different classifications of tracking systems, control methods, and major modern smart components, including remote system monitoring and control, with an emphasis on the importance of increasing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The study of solar tracker systems is crucial to consolidate current knowledge, recognize gaps in research, and foster revolution in this area. It offers a comprehensive thoughtful of up-to-date developments in control systems, classifications, and evolving technologies such as the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI). The study highlights limitations in prevailing systems, directorial future studies and, research to improve scalability, reliability and, affordability. Besides, they play a critical role in encouraging sustainability by capitalizing on the utilization of solar energy and donating to global goals of renewable energy. Moreover, this review paper acts as a valuable and distinct resource for industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers, offering awareness of the greatest practices and inspiring collaboration of interdisciplinary for progressing technologies of solar tracking.
