This paper addresses the critical issue of selecting optimal solar tracking configuration for maximum energy generation, given increasing demand sustainable solutions in information and communication technology (ICT) facilities. The main goal is to thoroughly evaluate compare seven different configurations across technical, economic, environmental dimensions: No Tracking (NT), Monthly Adjusted Horizontal Axis (MAHA), Weekly (WAHA), Daily (DAHA), Continuously (CAHA), Vertical (CAVA), Dual with Continuous Adjustment (DACA). study utilizes HOMER simulation program its hydrogen production, emissions, cost-effectiveness performance. Key findings indicate improves efficiency, capacity factors 18.2% 17.7% CAHA DAHA configurations, respectively. Although load-following strategies increase reliability, there a trade-off between capital costs costs. In addition, an MCDM approach helps consolidate evaluation, resulting CAVA being ranked as most preferable option. contributes informed decision-making systems ICT facilities by emphasizing significance considering variety criteria evaluation techniques address complex challenges.
