How to model/ calculate a two-axis tracking PV (in OpenStudio or EnergyPlus)?

Hello everyone I want to simulate a model with PV-integrated two-axis tracking shading devices. How is possible to model a PV-integrated dual axis tracking shading device to calculate the electricity production and shading performance? These devices are responding to the Sun and rotating according to the Sun's movement during the simulation period, I don't really know how to model it. Can anyone help? Note: I prefer using OpenStudio if possible or EnergyPlus if it is not possible in OpenStuido. The attached figure shows the idea which is modeled in OpenStudio.

Thank you
