Normally, sensors that detect the sun are used to ensure that the sunlight reaches the panel perpendicularly. Our students were also influenced by Alper Gezeravcı and tried to turn to the sun without using sensors by making astronomical calculations, and by using astronomical data and mathematical calculations, they successfully turned to the sun, especially at the time of every day in Amasya.” he said.
