Abstract

Solar energy is fast becoming a very important means of renewable energy resource. With solar tracking it will become possible to generate more energy since the solar panel can maintain a perpendicular profile to the rays of the sun. The aim of this paper is to present a unique solar tracking technique which can be used to extract maximum power from the photovoltaic cell by using a close loop control system along with a 4 LDR sensors which is strategically designed to generate feedback signal in order to track the sun angle. By using the close loop system the tracker will be able to keep the solar panel align to the sun light irrespective to the change in the intensity of light.
