In this paper, we introduce a novel solar tracking algorithm designed to optimize power generation by dynamically adjusting the angle of foldable solar panels. This method ensures the optimal capture of sunlight throughout the day, thereby generating the maximum possible solar power by maintaining the incident angle of the solar rays on the panels. The algorithm enables the foldable solar panels to periodically change their orientation based on the time of day, thus maintaining the angle of incident sunlight in the most suitable position for power generation. Comprehensive comparisons between foldable and fixed configurations indicate that foldable bifacial panels demonstrate superior efficiency compared to their fixed counterparts. Additionally, results from the Mann- Whitney U test and correlation coefficients provide critical insights of optimizing solar panel configurations for maximum power output.
