Abstract:
Today’s solar energy is one of the most popular renewable energy.The fact is, generally the solar panel power system is stationary, means that the solar panel will not always grab to the direction of sun, this make the light intensity falling on the solar panel is not in maximum level so the solar panel will not always work in its maximum performance.This project demonstrates a novel method which will automatically track the sun’s position and accordingly change the direction of the solar panel to get the maximum output from the solar cell with the help with PIC16F72, sensor and servo motor. This method enables the solar panel work in maximum performance because of the light intensity falling on the panel will be in maximum intensity level in all long day. A solar tracker is designed and experimentally tested. The information and design detail are shown in this report.
