Extracting Maximum Energy from Solar using Automatic Mechanical Tracking System

Solar Concentrator & Solar Tracking Combine system is main option to decrease price of solar energy generation. This Paper contains Tracking system & solar concentrating in PV/Thermal applications. By combining Solar Panel with Tracking System & solar concentrator, we can get better efficiency compared to Conventional System. Using two light dependent resistor interface with microcontroller and compare both LDR value and rotate stepper motor either clockwise or anticlockwise according to sun position. Whenever sun is east direction that time solar panel are also in east direction and whenever at the end of the day sun are west direction that time panel are rotate and move on west direction. Using LDR sense the light intensity and according to that rotate automatically panel and get the extracting the maximum energy from solar using automatic mechanical single axis solar tracking system.
