  • Solar Azimuth Automatic Tracking System

    Solar Azimuth Automatic Tracking System

    This study presents an actual implementation of a single-axis solar tracking system (SAST), where an azimuth control scheme is developed to precisely follow the sun's orientation.


    FAQs about Solar Azimuth Automatic Tracking System

    Can an azimuth solar tracker autonomously follow the sun's orientation?

    Experimental results show that the developed azimuth solar tracker can autonomously follow the sun's orientation primarily from time and location-based information and independent from the actual solar irradiance.

    What is an automatic Solar Tracking System (STS)?

    An automatic solar tracking system (STS) is an emerging technology that rotates a solar panel or solar concentrator to various positions throughout the day by monitoring the current position and path of the sun.

    What is the difference between azimuth based solar tracking systems?

    In contrast, the azimuth-based solar tracking system uses equations to operate. However, the net power of the systems to actuate is the cut-off point upon determining the efficient system, which depends on the power production and the power required from the systems to actuate. 4.2. Power Production

    What is a single axis solar tracking system (SAST)?

    This study presents an actual implementation of a single-axis solar tracking system (SAST), where an azimuth control scheme is developed to precisely follow the sun's orientation. This is demonstrated by computing in real-time the optimal azimuth angle based on the actual altitude, date, and time using an embedded microcontroller.

    What is automatic solar tracking?

    The main aim of any automatic STS is to maximize the amount of sunlight that the solar concentrator or module will receive, resulting in the maximization of the overall energy outputs of the system. Solar tracking can be performed in two ways: single-axis tracking and double-axis tracking.

    What is a single axis tracking system?

    Rotation angles of the single-axis tracking system. The tracking angle pertains to the orientation of a solar panel or solar collector with respect to the sun and is aimed at optimizing the quantity of solar radiation it captures.
