Design and Development of Single Axis Solar Tracking System

Objectives

  1. Evaluate the existing single-axis solar PV module tracker technologies and identify their limitations and areas for improvement.
  2. Design and simulate various tracking algorithms to determine the most efficient one for different geographical locations and solar panel setups.
  3. Develop a prototype of the optimized single-axis solar PV module tracker, considering factors like cost, durability, and ease of implementation.
  4. Conduct extensive field testing to assess the prototypes performance under varying weather conditions and different solar angles.
