The solar
power tower (SPT) is an effective thermal renewable energy source aiming to
absorb direct sunbeams on a central collector using thousands of electrical
drive-based moved reflectors. The reflector tracking system's accuracy depends
on the utilized drive system effectiveness and the used control technique
robustness. The project is to design and implementation simple and cheap price
solar tracker system with two axes using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). This
project is compared with fixed solar panel and the results showed that solar
tracker more output power than fixed solar panel. The sun position carried out
in two stages, first stage or direct sensing performed via set of LDR sensors
as output tuning to trims the azimuth and altitude angles. With analysis of
data generated by solar panel and determining components life cycle over
internet of things. The current situation of the more mature segment of solar
energy production, the Photovoltaic (PV) solar cell technology, is one in which
energy production is improving. Subsequently, it is believed that solar
tracking will contribute significantly in increasing the efficiency of energy
collection from the PV panels. Solar energy is the most inexhaustible,
renewable source of energy known to humanity. In order to increase the
efficiency of solar energy systems, solar tracker is added at the expense of
system’s complexity and cost. The two basic categories of trackers are single
axis and dual axis. Two angle sensors are used to measure the physical angles
on both outlet shafts of azimuth and elevation to make sure the desired angles
are reached. Integrated advance internet of commutation will be used for data
analysis.
