Abstract—In this study, we investigated the efficiency of our own two-axis solar tracking photovoltaic system which designed by us according to a fixed system. The system’s energy consumption was minimized by using tipper motor in the two-axis solar tracking system. Both systems were mounted in the same place to compare two-axis tracking system’s efficiency with fixed system’s efficiency fully and used the same breed panels, charge regulator, measurement device and battery. It was observed that Two-axis motion system efficiency was more than fixed system 31.67% over an annual average. This efficiency was measured on some days up to 70% during the winter months and up to 11% during the summer months.
