THE IMPROVING EFFECIENCY OF SOLAR PANEL USING DUAL AXIS WITH MIRROR REFLECTION

Abstract

Alternative energy sources are gaining popularity. Solar energy is quickly becoming recognized as a significant way to increase the availability of renewable sources of energy. To improve efficiency, a solar system should produce as much power as possible. Therefore, it is crucial that those working in engineering fields comprehend the technology related to this field. A maximum power point tracker powered by a microcontroller will be built as part of our project. A solar tracker is an apparatus onto which solar panels are mounted and which tracks the sun's path across the sky to make sure that the solar panels receive the most sunlight possible throughout the day. To ensure that the best sunlight is recognized, the tracker will attempt to navigate via the path after discovering the sunlight. To let a significant drive system follow the path of the sun through the sky, the design incorporates an efficient sensor array that can offer location information. The driver must display and operate the Solar Tracker during the project's final presentation in addition to positioning a photovoltaic panel for solar energy collecting at the best angle of exposure to sunlight. This system differs from others in that it uses the sun as a guiding source rather than the earth as a point of reference. Because the solar array can keep its alignment with the sun thanks to solar tracking, more electricity can be generated. Due to its accurate alignment with the sun's direction and improved ability to capture its movement, a dual axis tracking system with mirror reflection has significantly enhanced performance.
