How does a solar panel work?

The panel’s mechanism rotated to the position automatically when energy extraction is optimal. The system was designed in such a way that panels only follow the sun if that contributes to extra energy extraction and at the same time, the energy consumed by the panel driving motor is less than that extracted.

How do solar tracking systems improve the efficiency of solar panels?

Solar tracking systems are pivotal in enhancing the efficiency of solar panels. By adjusting the orientation of solar panels in relation to the sun, these systems ensure maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day. This dynamic positioning is crucial in optimizing the energy output of solar installations.

How do solar devices work?

However, because the sun’s position in the sky changes throughout the day and varies with the seasons, most of these solar devices are designed to track the sun’s movement to maximize their efficiency in capturing solar energy.

Are solar tracking systems a good alternative to photovoltaic panels?

In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day. In this paper different types of tracking systems are reviewed and their pros and cons are discussed in detail.

How does a pilot solar tracking system work?

This solar tracking system was controlled by a micro chip PIC 18F452 micro controller. The search mechanism PILOT located the position of the sun and the intelligent panel mechanism rotates itself with the PILOT to extract the maximum energy.

What is solar tracking & how does it work?

Solar tracking allows a PV module to move from one position to another in the course of the day and season to balance the power output throughout the day and extract the best out of the solar PV system. Tracking is a viable solution to enhance the power collection and the efficiency of a PV process, where SATS or DATS is used .
