| Summary: | Using photovoltaic panels to produce electricity is one of modern solutions to
replace energy production based on fossil fuels. Photovoltaic panels with modern energy storage
systems can ensure energy independence of individual houses. In order to improve the power
output from the solar photovoltaic panels modules, a sun tracking system is generally
implemented. Such sun tracking systems use sensors that track sun rays falling from the sun on the
solar photovoltaic panels. These sensors allow exact determination of the position of the sun so
that the sun rays incident on the solar panel strikes in perpendicular orientation to ensure
maximum utilization of solar energy for electricity generation. In this paper it is proposed a
control system for a dual axis sun tracker used to automatic or remote position control of the
photovoltaic panels. Automatic or manual control together a efficiency test system for photovoltaic
panels and a system for monitoring meteorological parameters makes this system to be very useful
in any testing laborator of methods for produce energy from renewable sources. The proposed
system will be able to test advantages and disadvantages of the mobile and fixed solar tracker
system. |
