2. INTRODUCTION
• Subsequent development of the solar cell,
which is a semi-conductive material that
converts visible light into a direct current.
• A Solar tracker is a device used for orienting a
solar photovoltaic panel or lens towards the
sun by using the solar or light sensors
connected with the machine.

3. WHAT IS A SOLAR TRACKER ?
• A solar tracker is a generic term used to
describe devices that orient or align various
payloads toward the sun.
• The system focuses on the optimization of the
electric energy produced by photovoltaic
cells

4. WHY USE SUN TRACKER ?
• Global warming has increased the demand and request for
green energy produced by renewable sources such as solar
power.
• To increase efficiency up to 40% by using of tracker as
compare to fixed solar panel.
• We see a performance gain of 25-35% by using single axis
tracker & double-axis solar trackers, performance goes up
additionally 5-10%.

5. BASIC COMPONENT
• The Solar Panel
• Stepper Motor
• Actuator
• Microcontroller
• A Display Unit (Optional)
• Interfacing Cables

6. STEPPER MOTOR
• A stepper motor is an electromechanical
device which converts electrical pulses into
discrete mechanical movements.

7. ACTUATOR
• An actuator is a type of motor that is
responsible for moving or controlling a
mechanism or system.
• It is operated by a source of energy, typically
electric current, pneumatic pressure, and
converts that energy into motion.

8. MICROCONTROLLER
• A microcontroller is a small computer on a
single integrated circuit containing a processor
core, memory, and programmable
input/output peripherals.

OVER FIXED SOLAR

12. CONDITION FOR MAXIMUM OUTPUT
• The difference between the incident ray and
the reflected ray should be equal to zero, i.e.
the rays should be perpendicular to the panel.
• The altitude is directly proportional to the
efficiency of the system up to a certain limit.
• Very clear sky and clean atmosphere
contributes a bit more to the efficiency of the
system.

13. APPLICATION OF SOLAR TRACKER
SYSTEM
• Can be used for small & medium scale power
generations.
• For power generation at remote places where
power lines are not accessible.
• For domestic backup power systems.

14. ADVANTAGE OF SOLAR POWER
• Solar tracking systems continually orient photovoltaic
panels towards the sun and can help maximize your
investment in your PV system.
• One time investment, which provides higher efficiency
& flexibility on dependency over other sources.
• Tracking systems can help reducing emissions and can
contribute against global warming.
• Bulk implementations of tracking systems help
reduced consumption of power by other sources.
• It enhances the clean and emission free power
production.

15. DISADVANTAGE OF SOLAR POWER
• Initial investment is high on solar panels.
• It’s a bit of difficult for servicing, as the
tracking systems are not quite popular
regionally.
• Moving parts and gears which will require
regular maintenance.
• May require repair or replacement of broken
parts over a long run.

16. CONCLUTION
• On one hand we can see the worlds energy
resources depletion to be a major problem.
• On the other hand global warming, which is a
major concern.
• Switching to solar power, which is clean and
green and enhancing its efficiency by using
sun trackers is a great option in the near
future
