Sun Tracking Solar Panels

One of the biggest challenges is look up for a source that will quench the thirst for ever-growing energy demands. This was achieved by employing photo-voltaic cells that can convert sun’s energy into electrical energy. A solar panel consist of a number of such cells. The designing and applications of an unorthodox single axis tracking system was developed that is capable of following the sun’s position. The tracking system has RS485 for serial communication and serve the purpose of intercommunication between monitor and rest of the system micro-controller will calculate the value of various parameter such as current, voltage and position angle. The solar energy collected is relatively very large as compared to fixed system. Various types of tracking system for the sun are discussed and compared.
