Photovoltaic Power Plants with Horizontal Single-Axis Trackers
This paper presents an energy analysis of the influence of the movement limit of a horizontal single-axis tracker on the incident energy on the photovoltaic field.
A PILOT tracking system and PV module rotation mechanism were developed to enhance solar efficiency by addressing the limitations of existing solar panel tracking systems (7) (Ghassoul, 2018). The innovation of the PILOT scheme lies in its use of a microcontroller-based control mechanism to optimize solar energy extraction.
Solar tracking systems are pivotal in enhancing the efficiency of solar panels. By adjusting the orientation of solar panels in relation to the sun, these systems ensure maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day. This dynamic positioning is crucial in optimizing the energy output of solar installations.
Smart solar PV tracking and on-site efficiency assessment system is developed to evaluate PV power efficiency and environmental characteristics to predict solar potential (Basnayake et al., 2016). This innovative system evaluates PV efficiency by measuring power output, ambient temperature, humidity, light intensity, and panel temperature.
A straightforward tracking system for monitoring solar PV panels was introduced, utilizing LDRs to enhance panel power output by precisely tracking the sun's movement (Bentaher et al., 2014).
