The implementation of various designs for solar trackers has been carried out throughout the world. However, a lot of research still needs to be carried out for the optimisation of the existing models. The dual axis solar tracker is a build up from the single axis solar tracker and has the key advantage of being able to track the sun through a larger angle as compared to the single axis model. In this paper, we look at a proposed model for a single axis solar tracker and analyse its key advantages. Trackers actively track the sun in order to tap maximum energy from a given Photovoltaic (PV) cell array. Photo sensors placed on the panel together with associated electronics circuitry adaptively adjust its azimuth for optimal energy conversion. In this paper, we show that the output power of the solar tracker should be more than the output power of the fixed panel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
