This document describes a solar tracking system that uses sensors and a programmable logic controller (PLC) to automatically orient solar panels towards the sun. It discusses the need for solar trackers to maximize solar panel output and efficiency.
Automatic solar tracker is a system which helps to boost the energy production of solar panel. The whole system even does not need any external power source, This document describes a dual axis solar tracker that uses sensors and a microcontroller to rotate solar panels to maximize electricity generation.
This paper deals with the development of fully automated environment sensitive solar tracking system to maximize solar energy harvesting economically and efficiently. It is controlled by micro-controller with necessary interface. Limit switches are used to bring back the panel to morning position after each day without human interference.
It discusses how solar tracking systems can increase the efficiency of photovoltaic panels by keeping them oriented towards the sun throughout the day. By maintaining an angle of incidence close to 0 degrees, solar tracking maximizes the amount of sunlight absorbed. This can boost the output of PV panels by 30-50% compared to fixed panels.
The tracking system works by using light sensors to detect sunlight intensity and signal the PLC to rotate stepper motors and align the panels accordingly. This allows it to capture 35% more energy than stationary panels.
This document describes a dual axis solar tracking system that uses a microcontroller. It aims to utilize maximum solar energy by using a solar panel that tracks the sun's position with help from light detecting resistors and a microcontroller.
