Being a repository of energies, Sun witnessed to be the eminent and ever continuing source of
emitting radiation from it. A part of this source of natural energy is received by the solar panel.
Certain ways have been developed to utilize this energy source as an alternative to other non-
renewable sources. Considering its multitudinous flourishing ways in which it can be applied to
bring about the change in conserving other resources, the manipulation of the energy source is
encouraged. [7]
Solar panels are hence used to utilize solar power in electrical means. They are aligned different
arenas to collect maximum solar power. Though, solar panels can be used to absorb or collect solar
power, there work is bounded to certain hours of the day and the sunlight pouring directly on them,
i.e. the angle between the sunrays and the panel is orthogonal. While at other hours of the day, the
angle of the sunrays is different, hence the amount of the solar power captured is very less.
To overcome such pitfalls, and encapsulate the maximum available of solar energy the solar
tracking systems were introduced. A solar tracking system is designed with the intention of
keeping the angle between the sunrays and the solar array
90°
.
The solar tracking system have three different modules-
•
The mechanism
•
Driving motors
•
The tracking controller.
