“…bahwa efisiensi panel surya jenis polycrystalline dapat berkisar antara 7,15-11,19% [12]. Penggunaan pelacak surya dengan axis tunggal atau ganda diyakini dapat meningkatkan energi yang dihasilkan panel surya sebesar masing-masing 22% dan 60% [13], [14].…”

Pemantauan kinerja panel surya dapat dilakukan secara langsung atau lokal (local monitoring) untuk keperluan pengujian panel surya. Namun dalam prakteknya, pemantauan secara tidak langsung atau jarak jauh (remote monitoring) juga dibutuhkan karena panel surya biasanya dipasang di tempat yang tinggi, jauh atau sulit dicapai. Penelitian ini merancang suatu sistem pemantauan panel surya ganda yang dapat melakukan pemantauan secara lokal maupun jarak jauh. Sistem lokal terdiri dari sensor tegangan, arus, suhu dan intensitas cahaya yang diintegrasikan dalam suatu kit/perangkat yang disebut PVmeter. Data pada sistem lokal dapat ditampilkan langsung pada LCD atau pada monitor PC oleh data logger. Sedangkan pada sistem jarak jauh, data dikirimkan ke internet dan ditampilkan pada website Thinkspeak sehingga data dapat diakses kapanpun dan dimanapun. Pada sistem lokal, data yang dipantau berhasil ditampilkan bentuk file *.txt setiap 5 menit sekali. Sedangkan pada sistem jarak jauh, data berhasil ditampilkan pada website Thinkspeak dengan rata-rata kecepatan pengiriman data 52,5 detik.

“…The single-axis solar tracker uses one axis, horizontal, tilt, or vertical, to orient the PV panel. It is simple to implement [3][4], however, it is only applicable for static applications, and it draws the maximum efficiency at a certain time of the year only [5]. The dual-axis tracker uses two axes to orient the PV panel: elevation and azimuth.…”

“…The major problem with this type of tracker is complexity. There are two types of dual axis trackers: the open loop systems and the close loop systems [3][4][5][6][7]. The close loop system is usually based on optical sensors, such as light dependent resistors (LDRs), which in conjunction with a drive system reorients PV panel position to be always perpendicular to the sunray.…”

Photovoltaic (PV) devices are one of the most renewable energy sources in demand globally. To harvest the maximum possible energy output from PV panels, it is necessary to orient them in a position where the sunray can fall on them perpendicularly. In this paper, an autonomous dual-axis smart solar tracking system is designed and implemented for positioning PV panels in a way that would make them generate the highest achievable energy output automatically anywhere in the world. The designed tracking system is built based on a mathematical model which is integrated with a microcontroller (µC), a Global Positioning System (GPS), a digital compass, and a gyro orientation sensor. The designed system provides a smart solution to accurately track the sun at a minimum power budget to increase the overall efficiency of PV panels. The suggested model is implemented and tested using 50 W PV panels, and it is empirically tested in the Middle East region of Baghdad, IRAQ. For further evaluation, it is also tested using simulated tracking data collected from three different regions Berlin, Singapore, and Sydney. This was done by selecting a city above the Tropic of Cancer, a city below the Tropic of Capricorn, and a city within the tropical region near the Equator. The obtained results confirmed that the developed system can track the sun in any region around the world, optimizing power consumption by operating the tracker within specific intervals that enables mustering maximum possible power of PV panels while ensuring minimum power consumption by the tracking system. The developed tracking system expended a mere 0.62% to 0.68% of the energy gain made.

“…On the other hand, people try to get the sunlight to illuminate the solar panel perpendicularly [21]. A solar panel method with the help of a solar tracker is usually suitable to be applied in a small capacity [22,23,24]. If a solar panel is utilized in a centralized system, one will face difficulty in overcoming a problem of shadow appearing on the solar panel.…”

People can make solar energy alternative energy by employing solar panels to generate electricity. The utilization of solar energy on a solar panel to generate electricity is affected by the weather and the duration of the radiation, and they will affect the solar panel’s temperature. There are various types of solar panels that can be found on the market today, including Mono-Crystalline and Poly-Crystalline. The difference in the material used needs to be observed in terms of temperature changes in the solar module. Our study’s findings showed that a change in the temperature would impact the solar panel’s output voltage, and the solar panel’s output voltage would change when it was connected to the load although the measured temperatures were almost the same.
