Low Cost Solar Tracker with High Efficiency in PV Generating System

Abstract:

This paper describes a low cost solar tracker with high efficiency in PV generating system. The detecting device adopts two ultraviolet (UV) sensors to detect the sun’s position. The output of detecting device is a series of combination signals. And this output signal is directly used to control DC motor’s deflection to sun. No microcontroller is adopted in this design. The simple structure makes this solar tracker reliable and easy implementation.
