Future Scope of Dual Axis Solar Tracking System
Future Scope of Dual Axis Solar Tracking System
Solar photovoltaic tracker system has a big space for research purpose. At this area there is lots of space for
innovations or improvements. The primary reasons for production and development of solar photovoltaic system is
lower efficiency of photovoltaic tracker system as well as lower generation of electrical energy. Systems that
improve the production of PV system are PV tracker system. PV system with concentrated mirrors. PV thermal or
hybrid systems. Each of these systems has potential to increase the production of electrical energy. However the
fixed PV system is less expansive to installation and much more uses over the world.
There are too many country uses solar energy to produce electricity but they still not use dual axis solar tracker.
They mostly uses single axis solar tracker but dual axis solar tracker is more efficient. So that need to improve the
single axis solar tracker efficiency but this will be more cost effective. As dual axis solar tracker installation is also
more cost effective but produce more amount of energy. There are many factors affecting the solar radiation like
humidity and solar intensity, so in future also need to work in this area.
The goals of this project were purposely kept within what was believed to be attainable within. 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 following
recommendations are provided as ideas for future expansion of this project:
Remedy the motor binding problems due to the photo sensor leads. This could be done with some sort of
slip ring mechanism, smaller gauge wire, a larger motor with more torque, or a combination of some or all
of these ideas.
Increase the sensitivity and accuracy of tracking by using a different light sensor. A photodiode with an
amplification circuit would provide improved resolution and better tracking accuracy/precision.
Different algorithm can be followed for more efficient tracking. This device can be given more intelligence,
such as after tracking once, it will able to predict the line of movement of the sun across the sky.
User-handling can be more sophisticated, i.e. user can select the waiting time..
A digital display can be configured along with this.
