Energy Efficient System for Solar Panel Subhash Rasal

A Solar Tracker is a device onto which solar panels are fitted which tracks the motion of the sun across the sky ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panels throughout the day. The Solar Tracker will attempt to navigate to the best angle of exposure of light from the sun. This report aims to let the reader understand the project work which I have done. A brief introduction to Solar Panel and Solar Tracker is explained in the Literature Research section. Basically the Solar Tracker is divided into two main categories, hardware and software. It is further subdivided into six main functionality: Method of Tracker Mount, Drives, Sensors, Motors, Data Acquisition/Interface Card and Power Supply of the Solar Tracker is also explained and explored. The reader would then be brief with some analysis and perceptions of the information. Next, the overview of the hardware and software of the Solar Tracker would be introduced. A detailed insight and main focus of this report of the sensor system and circuitry is explained in Chapter. Finally, the results, some discussions, conclusions and reflections of the project are discussed.
