Project Summary

This project composses the optimum utilization of solar energy through the use of a dynamic tracking system for different solar energy devices and applications. The methodology of this project is the use of dunamic mechanism that electro mechanically control the motion of the solar array with respect to the sun. The mechanical means os ensuring that the relative angular difference and speed between the solar module and some position with respect to time is reduce to zero in value in no time so as to sure optimum utilization of equivalent sun hour. The mechanical tracking and focusing system make use of a low speed electric motor, the design of a gear reduction system and an electronic power program timer powered from the direct current generated from the soalr panel.

Project Objectives

          1. Study about the working of Solar trackting system.

          2. Design a more reliable and efficient dual axis solar

              tracking system.

         3. Reduce Cost.

         4. Make electricity accessible to remote areas.

Project Implementation Method

First of all we make idea from literature then we make the cost estimation of this project. Then we make a design and buy the project parts from market. After this we assemble this project and check its working. 

Benefits of the Project

1. Increased energy production

2. Cost effectiveness 

3. Sustainability

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The purpose of this work is to build a device that when sun is high up in the sky, the tracking system must follow its position. An active control can help achieve this purpose by using time movements. The system need to be automatic thus making it simple and easy to use. The operator interference need to be negligible and must be restricted. Electromechanical structure has two degrees of freedom, motorized by two DC motors: a base platform moving around vertical axis and a suspended platform with PV panel moving around horizontal axis. Position of the base platform and the suspended frame can vary in the range of ±90° ensuring alignment of the panel in azimuth and elevation, respectively. Several components of this structure such as motors, gearboxes, and thrust ball.
