Sun Tracking Solar Panel Project Report

Tracking the sun berkeley lab s annual tracking the sun report summarizes installed prices and other trends among grid connected distributed solar photovoltaic pv systems in the united states.

Sun tracking solar panel project report.

Generally solar panels are stationary and do not follow the movement of the sun. Generally a solar panel system with a single axis solar tracker installed sees a performance gain of 25 to 35 percent. The unit is a mobile system aimed to provide energy in remote areas or during emergency conditions. In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.

The biggest benefit of a solar tracking system is that it offers a boost in electricity production. A seminar project report arduino based solar 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. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day.

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. 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. Introduction since this project is about creating a solar tracker some light dependent circuit element. The sun trackers are all weather reliable and affordable tracking and positioning instruments.

This project orients the solar panel toward the sun so that it can utilize with higher accuracy. Abstract in this paper a solar tracking system for renewable energy is designed and built to collect free energy from the sun store it in the battery and convert this energy to alternating current ac. This makes the energy usable in standard sized homes as a supplemental source of power or as an independent power source. Here is a solar tracker system that tracks the sun s movement across the sky and tries to maintain the solar panel perpendicular to the sun s rays ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight is incident on the panel throughout the day.

Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel. Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them. The latest edition of the report focuses on systems installed through year end 2018 with preliminary trends for the first half of 2019. The designed solar tracker is able to maintain a difference angle of 1 5 degrees between the normal to the pv panel and the sun rays.
