Solar power control system with sun tracking solar panel

Project Title

Solar power control system with sun tracking solar panel

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Solar energy is coming up as a major source of energy. The need of the hour is renewable energy resources with cheap running costs. With the current systems for solar energy harvesting, we have high production only at fixed times mostly noon. This project proposes a dual axis solar tracker system that increases the productivity by a significant margin

Project Objectives

As the non renewable energy resources are decreasing, use of renewable resources for producing electricity is increasing. Solar panels are becoming more popular day by day. Solar panel absorbs the energy from the Sun converts it into electrical energy and stores the energy in a battery. This energy can be utilized when required or can be used as a direct alternative to the grid supply. Utilization of the energy stored in batteries. The position of the Sun with respect to the solar panel is not fixed due to the rotation of the Earth. For an efficient usage of the solar energy, the Solar panels should absorb energy to a maximum extent. This can be done only if the panels are continuously placed towards the direction of the Sun. So, solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of Sun.

Project Implementation Method

These panels can be used to power the traffic lights and streetlightsThese can be used in home to power the appliances using solar power.These can be used in industries as more energy can be saved by rotating the panel.

Benefits of the Project

The solar energy can be reused as it is non-renewable resource.This also saves money as there is no need to pay for energy used (excluding the initial setup cost)Helps in maximizing the solar energy absorption by continuously tracking the sun.
