solar tracking

The Project is about tracking the solar rays to its optimum extent and utilizing them the maximum. The concept of reflector has given the extra capability to panel to absorb the rays and as a result, the production is increased. This prototype will also prove itself during the cloudy conditions, as the sensors attached to it are so designed that they will always search for the maximum possible sunrays. This prototype has the biggest advantage that it does not need any external power supply running it. It will fulfill its necessary power requirements from the absorbed solar rays only.
Actuation of the reflector tilt i.e. tracking and rotating of it for solar tracking, are operated with a gear motor based on control circuit, for adjusting the reflector position, so as to collect maximum solar rays. The gear motor controller module built with low cost digital circuit within built flexibility to accommodate seasonal position adjustments. The sensors present at the edges of the panel control the motors.
This prototype can be applied at the remote areas where the national grid is not able to supply the required power. It is also beneficial for the domestic usage. It can also be used for the traffic signals and further is can be a boon for the farmers, it providing the adequate power for irrigation.
