Solar Tracking System with Automatic Dual Axis

Pooja Rajeshwar

Abstract


Sun based energy has acquired enormous consideration lately because of different reasons, for example, a fluctuating of cost of raw petroleum consciousness of public on climate issues, supporting strategies and sponsorships taken by neighborhood government to help sustainable power areas, and prize decrease of photovoltaic (PV) boards. because major conventional energy sources like natural gas, coal, and petroleum are running out. Investing in renewable energy sources that can provide sufficient power for the future has become an urgent necessity. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electrical energy. The goal of this paper is to find a way to improve solar panels.' The dual axis solar tracker system is the best solution or the need of the market for addressing the issue of power and electricity. The solar array is moved and positioned by the tracking mechanism so that it can produce the most power. For increasing the amount of energy that can be produced by solar panels, a variety of trackers can be utilized. Double pivot trackers are among the most effective, however these accompanies expanded intricacy. The big problem of electricity is solved by dual axis trackers. It assists in the development of a prototype solar panel holder with an axis actuator mechanism at elevation and azimuth as well as a new type of sensor system that accurately tracks the sun.
