Abstract:
Fossil fuels have been facing tracker systems with reflectors. Our aim is to design a dual
axis solar tracker system with reflectors. The sun is tracked by the tracker and its position is
changed in such a way that it maximizes power output. On the top side of reduction with
passing time and generation of power is becoming a bigger challenge. Talking about renewable
sources, the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy by using photovoltaic panels is
prioritized. In this project, photovoltaic conversion panels are expected to be used in an
automatic microcontroller based solar panels are the reflectors and, in this case, we are to use
Polished Aluminum Sheets to reflect more rays on to the solar panels thereby increasing energy
output. The solar panel is moved by two geared DC motors so that the sun’s light is able to
remain aligned with the solar panel. The operation of the device is based on a DC motor which
is intelligently controlled by the dedicated drive until that moves a mini photovoltaic panel,
the presence of the two simple but efficient light sensors receive signals by the microcontroller.
The performance and characteristics of the solar tracker device are experimentally analyzed.
