This paper proposes a solar tracking system designed with microcontroller and ldr s that will actively track the sun and change its position accordingly to maximize the energy output.
Sun tracking solar panel project abstract.
Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel.
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.
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.
The tracking system will move the solar panel so that it is positioned perpendicular to the.
It also has a method of concentrating the sunlight onto the photoreceptors on the solar panel.
Main objective of this project is to develop an automatic solar tracking system which will keep the solar panels aligned with the sun in order to maximize in harvesti ng solar power.
Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day.
This project orients the solar panel toward the sun so that it can utilize with higher accuracy.
All of these maximize the amount of solar energy collected from the sun within a specific timeframe.
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.
The ldr s incorporated on solar panel helps to detect sunlight which in turn moves the panel accordingly.
The solar panel is designed with a tracking mechanism that directs the panel towards the area of high sunlight intensity.
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 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 sun trackers are all weather reliable and affordable tracking and positioning instruments.
Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing solar installations like solar trees.
Abstract on solar energy tracking system.
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.
