Fabrication and Analysis of Solar Tracking Device without External Power Consumption

A photovoltaic conversion panel is planned to be employed in a solar tracker system controlled by a microcontroller. Our aim is to design a single axis solar tracker is self-power tracker system. The sun is tracked by the tracker and its position is changed in such a way that it maximizes the power output. The solar panel is rotate by two geared DC motors so that sun’s light is able to remain aligned with the solar panel. The power supply by the solar tracking system model is separate fixed solar panel arrangement. The experiment device’s operation is based on a DC motor that is intelligently controlled by a dedicated drive till it moves a tiny photovoltaic panel, and the existence of two simple but effective light sensors that receive signals from a microcontroller. The solar tracker device’s performance and attributes are investigated experimentally.
