Abstract

A solar tracking generating system is designed and developed. An expert controller, sensors, and input / output interface are integrated with a tracking mechanism to increase the energy generation efficiency of solar cells. In order to track the sun cadmium sulfide (Cds) light sensitive resistors are used to achieve optimal solar tracking. Solar tracking allows more energy retrieved from the sun and solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. Solar modules are devices that cleanly convert sunlight into electricity and offer a practical solution to the problem of power generation in remote areas. This paper shows the potential system benefits of simple tracking solar system using stepper motor and light sensor. A solar tracker designed and constructed offers a reliable and affordable method of aligning a solar module with the sun in order to maximize its output (electricity).
