- the photovoltaic device and the solar tracking method thereof correct an error according to an installation position, in particular, an installation direction, of a solar light collecting plate having a solar cell, thereby calculating a control angle, By determining, the solar cell or the solar light collecting plate can be rotated exactly in a desired direction, and the solar absorption efficiency can be improved.
- the solar light collecting plate may be adjusted at a specific rotation angle to increase the solar absorption efficiency.
