 **Optimum aiming** involves both tracking the suns elevation above the horizon (zenith) and tracking the sun's east-to-west travel (azimuth).  Doing both can increase yield ~30% but requires frequent repositioning.
-**Leaving panel tilt in a reasonable default** is more common and has milder yield improvments.  In this approach the panel is aimed at true((not magnetic)) south((in the northern hemisphere)) at a particular angle above the horizon depending on time of year and latitude.
