Abstract

This paper presents solar system development of solar system erected in lab. The system under study presents fixed solar module and it is converted into dual axis tracking module. A dual axis tracker has the ability to follow the sun vertically and horizontally through optimum light sensors connected to control system including Arduino program. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar model has been built associated the lowest cost mechanical system of tracking panel if compared with other mechanism methods of solar tracking systems. New model tracking system is analyzed and compared with the old fixed system. Control unit is connected the solar system to permit the tracking solar panel operates individually or integrated to other solar panel. The results are investigated that ensures the MPPT has energy efficient and more reliability than modified fixed solar panel.
