Abstract

The use of clean energy (Solar, Wind etc) in other words, renewable energy is becoming more important for lowering global warming as the world becomes hotter as a result of global warming . The aim of this paper is to consume the maximum solar energy through solar panel. A Solar Tracker is a device onto which solar panels are built-in which tracks the motion of the sun ensuring that maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panels all over the day. Power output from a solar cell will be high when it is facing the sun. The simulation provides the design of solar tracking system . The performance and characteristic of the solar tracker are analyzed using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. The simulation part is done with solar PV cell characteristics, amplifying voltage , controller unit and ARDUINO Servo Unit.
