Single Axis Sun position Solar Tracking System
Project Fee:Negotiable

Project Duration:One Month
About This Project:
The designed & Construct project aims at tracking the sun to
achieve the maximum sun light incident on the solar panel during anytime of the
day. The project is useful during cloudy days. The
system requires a solar panel coupled with a Servo motor to keep tracking the
sun and moving according to the maximum sun light received. An Arduino family
is used that generates PWM signal pulses periodically to rotate the panel
through Servo motor. In this project a dual axis solar tracking system has been developed by
which more energy from the sun can be harnessed. In this project, an Arduino
which is an Atmel microcontroller-based board, has been used as the main
controlling unit. To detect the position of the sun on the sky, two LDRs have
been used and to rotate the orientation of the Solar PV panel a servo motor has
been used. The sensors and servo motor have properly been interfaced with the
Arduino board. The servo motor has been mechanically coupled with the PV panel.
The driving program has been written using the Arduino IDE. The whole system
has been assembled together and its performance has been tested. This tracker
changes the direction of the solar panel based on the direction of the sun facing
to the panel successfully.

Buy All Electronics Components:
-
The solar energy can be reused as it is non-renewable resource.
-
This also saves money as there is no need to pay for energy used
(excluding the initial setup cost)
-
Helps in maximizing the solar energy absorption by continuously
tracking the sun.
-
These panels can be used to
power the traffic lights and streetlights
-
These can be used in home to
power the appliances using solar power.
-
These can be used in
industries as more energy can be saved by rotating the panel.
