Project Summary

The primary trouble that the world facing now is the fossil power exhausted. that is due to the fact the demand for electrical power these days is very high due to the an increasing number of speedy improvement. So the non renewable electricity like gas and coal will run out if this power non-stop the use of by users. because of these matters, the huge scientist now's busy attempting to find renewable strength like solar, hydro and wind. This power are the best solution for the trouble that global facing these days so these problems can be solved by solar system. But for maximum output we develop the solar tracking system for better efficiency. The system right here is custom designed in a manner to get maximum output. because of this most amount of sunlight should fall at the panel and to have this panel ought to face sunlight on every occasion. however the sun is rotating all of the day and panel have to additionally try this work, because of this the layout of the system is made inside the manner that the panel could have 4 light  depending Resistors (LDR’s) to tune the sunlight movement, for the movement servo motor are used to move the system in both directions and for to track Ldr sensors are used at the corner of the panel.for sending the instructions and for the receiving the signals to servo motor microcontroller is used i,e ArdiunoUno is used. Also to capture huge amount of light mirrors are used to reflect the light at the panels

Project Objectives

•To develop a Simulink model of Dual axis tracking system

•Performance analysis and Results 

•To develop a tracking system based on LDR and Arduino

•To develop a prototype of dual axis solar tracking system

Project Implementation Method

Detailed study about solar tracking system and it’s various  designs.

•Designing simulation model using proteus software.

•Working on code of arduino.

•Designing hardware model using Arduino microcontroller.

•Testing hardware model and troubleshooting errors.

•Performance analysis of hardware model.

•Results and observations about hardware model.

•Writing up thesis.

Benefits of the Project

• Solar trackers generate more electricity than their stationary counterparts due to an increased direct exposure to solar rays.  Can give 40% more electricity than a non moving solar panel
• Higher degree of flexibility, allowing for a higher energy output on sunny days
• Higher degree of accuracy in directional pointing

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

This proposal provides a brief overview of the design and use of dual solar tracking system. Advantages of dual axis tracking system lies in its better performance and stability to produce better output compared to a vertical panel. A simple double axis solar tracker  is designed to capture solar power in all possible ways. Thus, most of the sun's energy can be absorbed and converted into electricity throughout the day and all year round. Based on the results, performance prototype efficiency is 108.36% above the fixed panel. The work concludes with dual axis solar tracker provides better performance and improves the performance of solar panel
