- If a conventional passive photovoltaic panel tracking system is compared to the developed high-precision dual-axis passive photovoltaic panel tracker, then the developed tracking system will generate a greater net power output than the conventional tracking system. This is because the developed system features dual-axis flexibility for optimization of solar movement tracking consistently, as well as improved mechanical movement for increased speed and precision.
- If a conventional passive photovoltaic panel tracking system is tested for net power output generation and system performance, then the system will react slowly to solar movement, with a lack of angle alignment precision. This is because there is no dual-axis capability, and the system’s vapourization processes are inefficient in reaction to thermal exposure.
- If a dual-axis system is implemented into a passive high-precision photovoltaic panel tracking system for collecting solar radiation energy, then the net power output will be significantly greater than a standard passive photovoltaic tracker. The designed system is optimized with a flexible design for obtaining solar radiation energy at the perpendicular angle at all times of the day, compared to conventional imprecise passive tracker. Seasonal direction changes will also be observed by the designed system, rather than disregarded by the conventional system.

Significant project changes and design modifications have been made to Passionate Passivity since the creation of this website. To ensure intellectual property protection, final work spanning from approximately June 2007 to April 2008 will be first presented at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May 2008.
