Solar tracking is a mechanism for orienting an object towards the sun. Here we are using double acting hydraulic actuator to track sun. Tracking Mechanism is pure mechanical means it utilizes a counter weight, rack and pinion gear and double acting actuator to form the tracking system.
So, in the current design, for the automatic solar tracking system, a modular approach was used to control the solar panel at two axes by using four light dependent resistors (LDRs) as sensors. The signals from sensors received by controller and are used to determine the direction of movement to align the array with the sun.
This paper proposes the conception and development of smart solar tracking system, based on mechatronics design approach, such that the solar panel through both day and seasonal changes is accurately perpendicular to sunlight beam (accurately point towards sun), where illumination is strongest.
