The proposed device automatically searches the optimum PV panel position with respect to the sun by means of a DC motor controlled by an intelligent drive unit that receives input signals from dedicated light intensity sensors. The solar tracking PV panel produced more energy than fixed one with about 57.55%.
A solar panel precisely perpendicular to the sun produces more power than one not aligned. The main application of solar tracking system is to position solar photovoltaic (PV) panels towards the Sun. Most commonly they are used with mirrors to redirect sunlight on the panels.
In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day. In this paper different types of tracking systems are reviewed and their pros and cons are discussed in detail.
Active solar tracking systems are systems that use motors, gears, and other controllers to direct the photovoltaic panels toward the sun. Active tracker systems come in several varieties that can be classified into a few categories.
PV tracking systems’ performance evaluation Due to the fact that a tracking system will increase the power production capacity of the solar PV panels in the farms, appropriate methods of performance appraisal must be employed.
But the continuous change in the relative angle of the sun with reference to the earth reduces the watts delivered by solar panel. In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day.
