DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF DUAL AXIS SOLAR TRACKER FOR MAXIMUM ENERGY HARVESTING

Abstract

Now-a-days we are using static solar panels but this system does not give maximum harvesting of solar energy. In this project, we are presenting the hardware design and implementation of Dual Axis Solar Tracking System that ensures a perpendicular profile of the solar panel with the sun in order to extract maximum energy falling on it. The LDRs do the job of sensing the change in the position of the sun which is dealt by the respective change in the solar panel’s position by switching on and off the DC geared motor. With the implementation of the proposed system the additional energy generated is greater than conventional system with very less consumption by the system itself.
