To improve energy efficiency by solar tracking system

Project Title

To improve energy efficiency by solar tracking system

Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject Summary

For increasing the energy efficiency we use solar tracker system.

Solar trackers costs very high we try to manufacture solar tracking system that has low cost and achieve highly energy efficiency.

Actuators is used in solar tracking system because through actuators solar plate movement become more precise.

Power consumption by solar tracker itself should be reduced.

Benefits of the Project

Solar trackers generate more electricity than their stationary counterparts due to an increased direct exposure to solar rays

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

• Solar tracker, a system that positions an object at an angle relative to the Sun. The most-common applications for solar trackers are positioning photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) so that they remain perpendicular to the Sun's rays and positioning space telescopes so that they can determine the Sun's direction.
