Abstract :

The purpose of this work is to enhance the performance of solar panels by allowing them to better follow the sun's path. Currently, solar panels are being used to a far greater degree than ever before. Since this project's goal is to increase the usefulness of solar panels, we've opted to construct it. The four light- dependent resistors in the tracker actively follow the sun's path, and the panel's position is adjusted with the assistance of servo motors to ensure maximum power generation. Simulation and implementation of the most effective algorithm for the dual axis (vertical and horizontal) solar tracker are the main goals of this project. To maximise power production, this simulation rotates the panel across 180 degrees to maximise solar irradiation absorption. Compared to their stationary counterparts, trackers produce more energy because of their greater exposure to the sun's beams. In terms of land efficiency, solar trackers are superior than fixed-tilt systems since they produce more power while taking up about the same amount of area. An improved solar panel efficiency is the goal of this project.
