The demand for solar power system has increased considerably because of depletion in fossil fuels and population growth. Solar panel tracking systems play a vital role in the efficient operation of solar power systems. This paper presents a survey of intelligent controllers based solar panel tracking systems to identify various issues having a potential for further research. After summarizing the existing work,a proposal is made for the application of neuro-fuzzy controller for solar panel tracking systems for further improving their performance.
