Automatic Solar Panel Positioning System

The reason tou makes a difference when it comes to solar panel angle and orientation is that if your system is producing most of its power during the middle part of the day when demand and rates are lower you could pay more for the energy you use at other times.

Automatic solar panel positioning system.

Solar energy is very important means of expanding renewable energy resources. Thus the tracking of the sun s location and positioning of the solar panel are important. The sun s position is constantly moving throughout the year and the only way to always have your solar panels angled perfectly is to install a solar tracking system. The tracking system will move the solar panel so that it is positioned perpendicular to the sun for maximum energy conversion at all time.

We manufacture an automatic cleaning system that produces an effective and non abrasive cleaning which makes that the energy production reaches its maximal efficiency. Panels that track the movement of the sun throughout the day can receive 10 in winter to 40 in summer more energy than fixed panels. Production from a dual axis solar tracker will be at least 140 higher than roof mounted solar panels. In this paper is described the design and construction of a microcontroller based solar panel tracking system.

Automatic solar tracking system mayank kumar lokhande abstract. This page doesn t discuss tracking panels solar panels should always face true south if you are in the northern hemisphere or true north if you are in the southern hemisphere. We designed and built a system to automatically orient a solar panel for maximum efficiency record data and safely charge batteries. Solar trackers follow the sun as it moves slightly which will bump up your energy production.

Automatic sun tracking solar panel and data analytics. Solar is a nonconventional source of energy. Scm was born as a company of innovation in the yield of maintenance and cleanliness of solar installations. Created by jason wright jpw97 and jeremy blum jeb373 for cornell university s ece4760 course.

If you are considering a ground mounted solar system a solar tracking setup may work. The goal of this project is to design an automatic tracking system which can locate position of the sun. As an addition to this paper a biaxial solar tracker used to rotate a 90w panel towards the sun was designed and made.
