The solar tracking process is fully automated, maximizing the collection and management of solar energy for the solar system. The proposed solar tracker has light-dependent resistors (LDRs), an Arduino microcontroller connected with Wi-Fi, a servo motor, a current sensor, and a solar panel with a supporting metallic servo bracket.
The objective of solar power tracking systems is to maximize the capture of solar radiation by continuously adjusting the orientation and tilt of the solar panels. By tracking the sun’s movement across the sky, these systems can ensure that the solar panels receive the highest possible level of sunlight throughout the day.
Energy analysis An evaluation of the system's energy input and output is part of the energy analysis process, as well as the overall effectiveness of the framework. The energy input in a solar tracking system is represented by the solar irradiance, which denotes the solar panels' total amount of received solar energy.
When designing solar tracking systems, it is necessary to take into account the distance between installations, since when the position of the Sun changes, the size of the trackers' shadow changes. This problem has several solutions. First: you need to install the trackers at a sufficient distance from each other.
Thus, developing a solar tracking approach that preserves the PV panels in perpendicular direction relative to the light beam significantly increases the energy production . A solar tracking is an approach developed to predict the movement of the sun to produce more energy than static PV models by 30%–60% .
This tracker system assures the optimization of electrical power conversion from solar energy. It is an experimental design based on the Microcontroller that triggers the linear actuator when the panel receives signals from the controller to tilt the solar panel according to the sun's movement in precisions.
Research shows that the energy efficiency of solar trackers based on the camera method exceeds the efficiency of stationary systems by 30–32 %, while the tracking error varies in the range of 0.0258°-3°. The effectiveness of solar orientation depends on the cloud coverage and the duration of cloudy periods during the day.
