Abstract—This paper presents a mechanical design of an altitude-azimuth two axis solar tracking system for Sakarya province, Turkey. The design consists of a solar panel, two linear actuators and linkages. The main objective of this work is to build a mechanical construction: cost effective, durable to withstand the weather conditions of Sakarya; easy to assemble; easy to move; long-lasting with no maintenance; capable to track the sun’s position in both altitude and azimuth axis.
