Abstract

This paper presents the design and performance analysis of solar panel dynamic systems using a solar tracker to improve output power efficiency. The majority of the solar panels are still static, which results in inferior solar energy receiving. to create a perpendicular angle between the solar panels and the direction of the sun's rays in order to maximize the absorption of solar energy. By altering the time of the solar module, this research creates a prototype solar tracker that is capable of producing more energy overall than solar modules that are static. For automatic solar module storage, these prototypes used two light sensors are employed, along with an actuator and the controller. It is expected that by using this technology, solar energy usage can be maximized and a cost- effective electronic control system can be created.
