Optimized Intelligent Dual-Axis Solar Tracking System for Maximum Energy Efficiency

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to design dual-axis auto tracking system for the utilization of solar energy to maximize power efficiency and optimizing solar radiation capture. By constantly adjusting the direction of solar panels, the system significantly improves energy harvesting and boosts overall efficiency, marking a significant advancement in renewable energy technology. The evolution of dual-axis tracking systems describes a transformative approach to solar energy optimization by dynamically aligning photovoltaic panels with the sun’s movement. The main aim of this paper is also to maximize energy capture and improving efficiency by design, implementation and performance evaluation of a dual-axis solar tracking system. The system tracks the sun's azimuthal and altitudinal shifts throughout the day using precision sensors and adaptive control algorithms to guarantee ideal panel alignment. A sturdy mechanical framework, efficient actuation mechanisms, and real-time monitoring interfaces form the foundation of the system, enabling reliable operation under varying environmental conditions. Experimental results indicated an increase in solar energy collection, with efficiency gains of up to 30% compared to fixed solar panel setups.  These results findings emphasize the massive potential of dual-axis tracking systems in advancing renewable energy solutions, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable solar energy utilization.
