Investigation on Enhanced Performance of Solar Tracking Through Dual Reflective System

Tarun Kumar Nehra, Harish Kumar Maheshwari, Tushar Agarwal

Abstract


The output power of PV panels is improved through many different solar tracking technologies in modern years. Since solar power is hopeful to be one of the most implemented types of source for pollution free electricity generation, developing a low cost and higher efficiency solarelectrical system is in high needs. This work describes about the solar tracking system which is intended and developed to enhance the power output of the 40W solar panel. The panel efficiency is improved by using reflective sheets that are smooth depending on the sun’s position to absorb the maximum power output during any time of the day.

 

Keywords: Solar panel tracker, reflective sheets tracking, mirror tracking
