A typical solar tracking system adjusts the face of the solar panel or reflective surfaces to align with the sun as it moves across the sky.
Components of solar tracking system.
Solar trackers can be built using a floating foundation which sits on the ground without the need for invasive concrete foundations.
Tracking mounts mechanically move the pv panels over the course of a day so that they directly face the sun at all times.
Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day.
The solar tracker comprises comparator ic lm339 h bridge motor driver ic l293d ic2 and a few discrete components.
The main components are as follows.
The circuit itself is very trivial with only a few parts.
Dual axis trackers change both azimuth and elevation while single axis trackers only match the azimuth.
The system moves though one rotation per day.
A servo connection a microcontroller two ldr sensors and a simple power management circuit.
In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.
Drives they are used to control the rotation of the motor shaft based on the load.
Disconnect switches are of critical importance and they need to be mounted within easy reach.
Circuit of solar tracking system.
Light dependent resistors ldr1 through ldr4 are used as sensors to detect the panel s position.

It is this relatively slow motion that enables the time compression approach for alt.
The solar panel tracking system project has two main components.
