Technical FAQs 4

What is automatic solar tracking?

The main aim of any automatic STS is to maximize the amount of sunlight that the solar concentrator or module will receive, resulting in the maximization of the overall energy outputs of the system. Solar tracking can be performed in two ways: single-axis tracking and double-axis tracking.

What is a pilot tracking system & PV module rotation mechanism?

A PILOT tracking system and PV module rotation mechanism were developed to enhance solar efficiency by addressing the limitations of existing solar panel tracking systems (7) (Ghassoul, 2018). The innovation of the PILOT scheme lies in its use of a microcontroller-based control mechanism to optimize solar energy extraction.

Can a microcontroller-based solar tracking system integrate a new adaptive solar position sensor?

Developed a microcontroller-based hybrid automatic solar tracking system that integrates a new adaptive solar position sensor (N. Mohammad and Karim, 2013). The system, combining both hardware and software components, was compared with other tracking systems and stationary modules to evaluate its performance.

How do solar tracking systems work?

Apart from controlling them manually, solar-tracking systems can also be controlled by a number of other driver systems . In all these systems, it is the control signal that controls the direction and magnitude of the tracking action by providing the motor and the gears with the appropriate information.
