AUTOMATIC TRACKING SYSTEM FOR SOLAR CELLS

A Novel Low Cost Automatic Solar Tracking System

This paper presents the hardware design and implementation of a system that ensures a perpendicular profile of the solar panel with the sun in order to extract maximum energy falling on it. Renewable energy is rapidly gaining importance as an energy resource as fossil fuel prices fluctuate. The unique feature of the proposed system is that instead of taking the earth as its reference, it takes ...

ARM Based Solar Tracking System

Solar energy systems have emerged as a viable source of renewable energy over the past two or three decades, and are now widely used for a variety of industrial and domestic applications. Such systems are based on a solar collector, designed to collect the sun’s energy and to convert it into either electrical power or thermal energy. In general, the power developed in such applications depends ...

Dual Axis Solar Tracking System

For a senior design project, we have created a solar tracking system . The key requirements for this system were to create an effective and low cost system in order to optimise efficiency of solar panel . The developed solution is a prototype that might be built upon to create a production model. The motivation, solution (including design, implementation, and testing), and analysis of the resul...

A Solar Automatic Tracking System that Generates Power for Lighting Greenhouses

In this study we design and test a novel solar tracking generation system. Moreover, we show that this system could be successfully used as an advanced solar power source to generate power in greenhouses. The system was developed after taking into consideration the geography, climate, and other environmental factors of northeast China. The experimental design of this study included the followin...
