Single Axis Solar Tracking System Project Report

Soltec launches the sf8 the largest single row tracker on the market.

Single axis solar tracking system project report.

The single axis trackers move to and fro following the sunlight. 4 abstract the project involves design and implementation of an automatic microcontroller based solar tracker system expected to be used in photovoltaic conversion panels.

The project is built using a balanced concept which is three signals from the different sensors are compared.

The proposed single axis solar tracker device functions to ensure the optimization of the photovoltaic panel in accordance with the real position of the sun. This work introduces an application of two axis sun tracking system which follows the position of the sun and allows investigating effect of 2 axis tracking system on the power of solar energy. It was determined that the frame would be six inches wide with fifteen inches length on the base. Accommodating variable slope tolerances and having adjustable row lengths up to 120 modules allows this system the flexibility to adapt to a variety of site conditions that used to impact tracker designs.

Economic feasibility and delivery of expected results to drive the single axis solar tracker segment s growth. The bifacial configuration of the sf8 can produce up to 8 6 more power generation than other trackers. Dual axis solar tracker a project report submitted in partial fulfilment.

Sf8 is a multidrive tracker with at least 4 strings of up to 100 kw. In order to achieve maximum efficiency the device tracks seasonal. The first step was figuring out what size the frame needed to be to support our motor and shaft. Trackers are available in two types namely single axis and dual axis trackers.

Dual axis solar tracker can simultaneously track sun s radiation in both horizontal and vertical axis. They use the same principle as the mountings of astronomical telescopes. 2229 5518 states that a single axis tracker tracks the sun east to west and a two axis tracker. The innovative sunflower ii design from rbi solar is not bound by the limitations of other commercial single axis tracker systems.
