Performance Analysis of Automated Solar Panel Tracking System

The objective of the proposed paper is to examine or study the performance of automated solar panel tracking system. It ensures that the solar panel is placed at the right angle(90 degree) with respect to sun's position to obtain maximum solar energy. An eccentric feature or characteristic of this system is that the earth has not taken as the testimonial. Instead of that here the reference is sun. The sensor in the system constantly invigilate the sunlight and turn or rotate the panel with regard to the angle at which the intensity of the sunlight is very high. The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sense the position change of the sun which is dealt by the respective change in the panel's position by controlling the geared motor. It has the program to run the motor with respect to the variation in the position of the sun, 25% to 30% energy is generated. In this paper, an improvement in the design of existing system is achieved to get the best efficiency economically.
