“…The rotation angle of the solar tracker is calculated through the encoder using a variable resistor (12). To measure the voltage on the solar battery, a voltage sensor is used, which is a voltage divider connected to the analog input of the microcontroller (8). To measure the current generated by the solar battery, a digital current sensor ACS712 (9) connected to the output of the solar panel is used.…”

Improving the efficiency of solar panels is the main task of solar energy generation. One of the methods is a solar tracking system. One of the most important parameters of tracking systems is a precise orientation to the Sun. In this paper, the performance of single-axis solar trackers based on schedule and light dependent resistor (LDR) photosensors, as well as a stationary photovoltaic installation in various weather conditions, were compared. A comparative analysis of the operation of a manufactured schedule solar tracker and an LDR solar tracker in different weather conditions was performed; in addition, a simple method for determining the rotation angle of a solar tracker based on the encoder was proposed. Finally, the performance of the manufactured solar trackers was calculated, taking into account various weather conditions for one year. The proposed single-axis solar tracker based on schedule showed better results in cloudy and rainy weather conditions. The obtained results can be used for designing solar trackers in areas with a variable climate.

“…Solar trackers include passive and active trackers, and active trackers can be divided into programmed ones and sensorized ones [4]. By considering mechanical characteristics, the solar tracker can be mainly divided into single-axis solar trackers and two-axis solar trackers [5]. Single-axis trackers are mostly used on certain small solar collectors, and they are divided in vertical [6], horizontal [7], and inclined axis trackers [8].…”

A novel two-axis solar tracker with parallel mechanism is proposed in this paper. A dynamic model is derived by using the virtual work principle and the consumed energy including the mechanical energy and motor energy loss is computed. Taking Beijing as the working location of the solar tracker, the energy consumptions of the parallel solar tracker and its corresponding serial solar tracker are compared based on the premise that the proposed solar tracker and its corresponding serial solar tracker have similar static stiffness. Mechanical energy consumption of the proposed tracker is reduced by 7.55% compared to the serial solar tracker. The motor energy loss of the parallel solar tracker is also significantly lower. This simple and low-energy consumption solar tracker is a good alternative to the traditional solar tracker with large energy consumption.

Review transcript presents copious solar tracking methods to investigate their output potential and also outline tracker type, construction, cost, and design parameter. The solar follower systems encompassed five classifications based on the tracking methods are active, passive, semi-passive, manual, and chronological tracking are also reviewed with their application and feasibility. These all method-based research paper are compared on the basis of complexity of circuit, cost, tracking based on (radiation or astronomical equation), degree of freedom, control strategy, accuracy, energy intact, power or energy gain, tracing error, and panel efficiency. Basically, one axis and two axis sun following system review revels compare study against stable system which addressed their suitability and capability of maximum energy generation and MPPT technologies.
