Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day.
Sun tracking solar panel project abstract.
Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel.
All of these maximize the amount of solar energy collected from the sun within a specific timeframe.
In this article we are going to make a sun tracking solar panel using arduino in which we will use two ldrs light dependent resistor to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light.
Abstract on solar energy tracking system.
Solar energy tracking systemintroductionconceptphotovoltaic s pv is a method of generating electrical power by converting solarradiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit thephotovoltaic effect materialsmaterials presently used for photovoltaic s include monocrystalline silicon polycrystalline silicon amorphous silicon cadmium telluride and copper indiumselenide sulfide photovoltaic effect photoelectric.
The ldr s incorporated on solar panel helps to detect sunlight which in turn moves the panel accordingly.
The goal of this project is to design an automatic tracking system which can locate position of the sun.
The sun trackers are all weather reliable and affordable tracking and positioning instruments.
A solar tracking system maximizes your solar system s electricity production by moving your panels to follow the sun throughout the day which optimizes the angle at which your panels receive solar radiation.
Advantage of this project is that solar panel will always follow the sun light will always face towards the sun to get charge all the time and can provide the supply the maximum power.
Thus increasing the efficiency of the solar panel in absorbing solar energy by at least 15.
In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.
Sun tracking system for solar panel project is made to tracking the sun at day time for utilizing its solar energy properly for solar panel.
Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them.
Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing solar installations like solar trees.
This project orients the solar panel toward the sun so that it can utilize with higher accuracy.
The solar panel is designed with a tracking mechanism that directs the panel towards the area of high sunlight intensity.
The tracking system will move the solar panel so that it is positioned perpendicular to the.
Principle of sun tracking solar panel the sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller.
It also has a method of concentrating the sunlight onto the photoreceptors on the solar panel.
