Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to present a control system which will cause better alignment of photovoltaic (PV) array with sunlight to harvest solar power. The proposed system changes its direction in two axis to trace the coordinate of the sunlight by detecting the difference between position of the sun and panel. Hardware tasting of the proposed system is done for checking the system ability to tack and follow the sunlight in an efficient way. Dual axis solar tracking system superiority over single axis solar tracking system is also presented. Solar power is the fastest growing means of renewable energy production which is connected to grade thereby increasing the solar capacity approx. 60% more annually according to the national centre for policy analysis. The sector of renewable energy sources that is in our case the solar energy sector in India is growing at a higher pace due to the government’s initiation on generating electric energy through solar power. The necessary steps are being taken by the Indian government to implement solar panels in every possible manner and encouraging people to opt for this kind of renewable energy source by providing subsidies, tax exemption and invoking net metering system. The Governments focus is on achieving “Power for all” mission through boosting solar energy enforcement.
