Improved Structure of Solar Tracker with Microcontroller
Based Control
[attachment=21576]
Solar energy systems have emerged as a viable source of renewable energy over
the past two or three decades, and are now widely used for a variety of industrial and
domestic applications. Such systems are based on a solar collector, designed to collect the
sun’s energy and to convert it into either electrical power or thermal energy. In general,
the power developed in such applications depends fundamentally upon the amount of
solar energy captured by the collector, and thus the problem of developing tracking
schemes capable of following the trajectory of the sun throughout the course of the day
on a year-round basis has received significant coverage in this project.
Advantages:
• Highly sensitive
• Works according to the sun direction
• Fit and Forget system
• Night – Day mode sensing
• Low cost and reliable circuit
• Complete elimination of manpower
Applications:
• Street lights
• Garden Lights
• Solar water heater
• Hotels, hostels and house hold applications
• Offices
• Industries
