Sun tracking solar panel project.

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. I have to present a final year project in my college and the time duration for that is 6 months. I am planning on making a prototype for sun tracking solar panel single axis using maximum voltage method. This article describes about circuit that rotates solar panel.

For flat panel applications trackers are. Generally solar panels are stationary and do not follow the movement of the sun. A solar panel is used to harness solar energy. Principle of sun tracking solar panel.

Dual axis solar tracker panel with auto and manual mode project tutorial by giannis arvanitakis. In this video i demonstrate a simple autonomous solar tracking system that can be used with solar panels or parabolic mirrors to improve their performance in. But many students argue that tracking sun isn t beneficial as it increases the cost by adding stepper motor sensors control systems. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board.

A solar panel that can rotate in two axis either automatically using four light sensors either manually with the aid of two potentiometers. Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. Sun tracking solar panel using arduino project is based on arduino controller board which controls the various activities of the project. This project orients the solar panel toward the sun so that it can utilize with higher accuracy.

The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller. Our sun tracker system track the sun by use of sensors and rotate the solar panel by means of stepper motor. Also since a panel which is incident to the sun can gather more amount of solar energy the solar panel is attached to a motor. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.

Fun and easy green robot. The sun trackers are all weather reliable and affordable tracking and positioning instruments.
