The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been developed to address

various global challenges and to achieve a sustainable future for all.


Research has shown that the integration of these goals is crucial for the
success of sustainable development efforts (Blanc, 2015). The SDGs provide
a network of targets that aim to promote economic growth, social inclusion,
and environmental protection (Oniang'o, 2020).
The integration of solar tracking systems into energy infrastructure is pivotal
for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the
context of a low energy demand scenario essential for meeting the 1.5°C
target without relying on negative emission technologies, as argued by
Grubler et al. (2018). This is further supported by Keesstra et al. (2018), who
emphasize the importance of sustainable land use and restoration for
successful implementation, highlighting the necessity of land degradation
neutrality in various geographical locations. Additionally, McCollum et al.
(2018) underscore the critical need for substantial energy investments to
transition to sustainable energy sources, indicating that integrating solar
tracking systems is a key component of fulfilling both the Paris Agreement
and the SDGs. Blanc (2015) further provides insights into the
interconnectedness of the SDGs and the need for integrated approaches to
achieve sustainable development. This integrated approach is crucial for the
implementation of solar tracking systems, as they contribute to multiple
SDGs, including affordable and clean energy, climate action, and industry
innovation.

Holechek et al. (2022) conduct a comprehensive global assessment to


determine the feasibility of renewable energy supplanting fossil fuels by
2050. This study underscores the critical role of solar tracking systems in
achieving the sustainable development goal (SDG) of affordable and clean
energy. Complementing this perspective, Oral et al. (2020) review nature-
based solutions for urban water management, emphasizing the broader
environmental and societal benefits of sustainable technologies, including
solar energy, despite not being directly related to solar tracking systems.
Further highlighting the multifaceted potential of solar energy, Gao et al.
(2021) explore photothermal membrane distillation for solar water
production, illustrating synergies between solar technologies and other SDGs,
such as clean water and sanitation. Additionally, You et al. (2013) present a
polymer tandem solar cell with high power conversion efficiency, directly
contributing to the SDG of affordable and clean energy and showcasing the
potential of advanced solar tracking systems. Lastly, Li and Wu (2015) review
semiconductor-based photocatalysts and photoelectrochemical cells for solar
fuel generation, revealing the broader applications of solar energy beyond
electricity generation. Their findings align with multiple SDGs related to
energy, industry, and innovation, further emphasizing the pivotal role of solar
energy technologies in sustainable development. Together, these studies
highlight the diverse and significant contributions of solar energy
technologies to various sustainable development goals.

The literature reviewed demonstrates the interconnectedness of the SDGs


with the development and implementation of solar tracking systems.
However, there is a knowledge gap in the specific strategies and
technologies needed to ensure that solar tracking systems contribute
effectively to the achievement of the SDGs. Future research should focus on
identifying and developing these strategies to maximize the potential impact
of solar tracking systems on sustainable development.

In conclusion, the literature reviewed showcases the critical role of solar


tracking systems in contributing to the SDGs. However, further research is
needed to bridge the gap between the theoretical integration of solar
tracking systems and their practical implementation for sustainable
development.
