This research aims to design and implement a microcontroller-based automated single-axis solar tracking system to capture maximum sunlight and to extract maximum power from the solar PV panel in various sun positions. This system helps to face the solar panel towards the sunlight according to the sun’s movement in the sky.
An automatic sunlight tracking system is required to ensure that the panel captures maximum solar irradiance. This research aims to design and implement a microcontroller-based automated single-axis solar tracking system to capture maximum sunlight and to extract maximum power from the solar PV panel in various sun positions.
A single-axis solar tracking system uses a tilted PV panel mount and one electric motor to move the panel on an approximate trajectory relative to the Sun's position. The rotation axis can be horizontal, vertical, or oblique.
One of the paths taken is increasing the solar radiation to the cells of the photovoltaic panels: this is the concept of “solar tracking”. Therefore, the appropriate placement of the solar panels. Most solar panels are used in a stationary produce. photovoltaic system. A solar tracker will track the sun throughout the day and adjust the
This system involves a single axis about which the rotation is possible in order to align the panel perpendicular to the sun’s radiations. The most preferable orientation is said to be alongside the north meridian axis (Mousazadeh et al., 2009).
The design of the row spacing always avoids shading between the photovoltaic modules, contributing to the increase of generated energy, and reducing the appearance of hot spots. A comprehensive study of the operating periods has been carried out, classifying them broadly into backtracking mode, limited range of motion and normal tracking mode.
