When designing solar tracking systems, it is necessary to take into account the distance between installations, since when the position of the Sun changes, the size of the trackers' shadow changes. This problem has several solutions. First: you need to install the trackers at a sufficient distance from each other.
The main mechanism of the solar tracking system consists of the tracking device, tracking algorithm, control unit, positioning system, driving mechanism, and sensing devices . ... ... The driving mechanism is responsible for moving the tracking device to the position determined by the positioning system.
A solar panel precisely perpendicular to the sun produces more power than one not aligned. The main application of solar tracking system is to position solar photovoltaic (PV) panels towards the Sun. Most commonly they are used with mirrors to redirect sunlight on the 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.
With the help of a solar tracker! The solar tracking system adjusts the direction so that a solar panel is always positioned as per the position of the sun. Remarkably, by adjusting the panels perpendicular to the sun, more sunlight hits them. As less light is reflected in this way, the panels trap a greater amount of solar energy.
A solar tracking system is composed of three well-differentiated components: the mechanism, the driving motors, and the tracking controller. The mechanism is the part of the tracking system responsible for providing the follower with precision in tracking.
