## 2 Methodology
### Proposed Tracking Strategy
Finally, the present research has the future perspective of helping in the development of solar tracking systems that are efficient for longer periods, reducing the required maintenance and extending the lifetime without affecting the performance in the conversion of electrical energy and integrating novel technology for solar harvesting energy.
