The energy extracted from the solar is changing cording to seasons and the way of tracking. In this study, have been five tracking modes are North-South and East-West, which have been rotating over the seasons of the year. Also, the Baghdad city has been chosen to select the optimum tracking mode. A mathematical pattern has been used to solve numerically. From this study, deduced that all the tracking models performance is converging at the noon period of the North-South tracking mode. These will allow the highest solar energy collected is 34.15% from the East-West tracking rotating mode.
