| dc.description.abstract | demand for an alternative source of energy has increased extensively in the past few years. There is a need for development of such systems that can efficiently utilize the renewable energy resources. That is why it is very important for us to discover the ways in which this unlimited renewable energy can be used productively. Solar panels are one of the best sources that are used to convert the unlimited supply of sun’s energy into useful energy. Our project is comprised of simulations design and construction of such a system that rotates the panels to follow the sun in order to improve the efficiency of the power generated by the Solar panels. The improvement in the efficiency of the power generated will be accomplished by the law that the solar panels to follow the sun throughout the day in a way that the sun rays strike the panels perpendicular to the surface of the panel. The system includes light dependent resistors as sensors, microcontroller, a low rpm motor along with buck boost converter and an inverter. Our tracking system improves 25-30% efficiency of the power generated in comparison to that of a fixed solar panel system. | |
