In this work, an experimental methodology is shown that allows selecting the best controller alternative to govern a two-axis solar tracking system in trajectory tracking tasks. This, based on the comparison of the performance of different controllers during the tracking of a solar trajectory (obtained offline with the help of a numerical method) using a prototype solar tracking system in a simulation environment. The selection of the controllers is based on the performance reported in the literature and commercially for other alternatives based on parameters such as: tracking error and energy consumption, computational cost, ease of implementation, ease of tuning, among others. However, for the final validation and selection of the controller, a brief analysis of the numerical results obtained during the follow-up tests is provided.
