Intelligent Solar Tracker

Abstract:

On the verge of exhausting fossil fuels, solar energy is the one of best options for the primary source of energy as it is renewable, eco-friendly and safe to use. An intelligent solar tracker will attempt to navigate to the best angle of exposure of the sun ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panel throughout the day. The main reason for pursuing this paper is to establish the idea that a tracker aided array of PV modules produces more power over a longer time than a stationary array with the same number of modules.
