An automatic solar tracker helps by allowing the solar panel to automatically shift with sunlight. An automatic solar tracker senses the sun’s position and moves a ccordingly. This means the s olar panel moves from east to west with respect to sun. There are two major types of residential solar panel tracker: single axis and dual axis.
Abstract— This paper concerns the automatic smart solar radiation tracker dedicated to Received : 08 Jan 2023 photovoltaic panels. The proposed tracking system ensures optimum generation of electrical Revised : 21 Feb 2023 power by proper orientation of PV panels while consuming minimal energy.
Solar tracking system is the most appropriate technology to enhance the efficiency of the solar cells by tracking the sun. A microcontroller based design methodology of an automatic solar tracker is presented in this paper. Light dependent resistors are used as the sensors of the solar tracker.
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.
A PILOT tracking system and PV module rotation mechanism were developed to enhance solar efficiency by addressing the limitations of existing solar panel tracking systems (7) (Ghassoul, 2018). The innovation of the PILOT scheme lies in its use of a microcontroller-based control mechanism to optimize solar energy extraction.
Recent developments in solar tracker systems include exploring different module geometries, materials, and tracking mechanisms to boost efficiency. Single-axis and dual-axis tracking systems are widely used, with dual-axis systems offering greater efficiency and accuracy.
