Scope and Limitation

This document outlines the scope and limitations of a self-powered dual axis solar radiation tracker project. The project aims to keep a solar panel perpendicular to the sun throughout the day to efficiently provide energy to a household and power the tracking system itself. The scope is limited to what could be achieved within the timeline, though improvements can be made. The project functions as a miniature model that could scale up larger. Limitations include withstanding only fair to windy weather, lack of water resistance, and mechanical detection of solar intensity rather than using a microcontroller.

SCOPE AND LIMITATION In this project, the self-powered dual axis solar radiation tracker will be consisting of two

parts: the energy harvesting system, and the solar tracking system. The tracking system will be the one that will make the device tilt according to where there is maximum solar intensity. On the other hand, the energy harvesting system will be the one responsible for the harnessing of energy that will supply a household, and the device itself. The main goal is to keep the solar photovoltaic panel perpendicular to the sun throughout the day in order to make it more efficient in providing energy to the household, and powering itself up. The proponents purposely kept the scope of this project within what was believed to be attainable in the boundaries of the allotted timeline. As such, many improvements can be made upon this initial design. That being said, it is felt that this design represents a functioning miniature scale model which could be replicated to a much larger scale. The limitations of this project are: The project can withstand from fair up to windy weather, exposure to rains can cause it to collapse. The project is mechanical made and is not controlled by any microcontroller making the error of detecting the exact location of high solar intensity a bit more than the data acquired by a microcontroller. The proponents purposely excluded the use of microcontroller because they dont prioritize algorithm or software.
