Automatic Dual Axis Solar Tracking System

Abstract

The Dual Axis Solar Tracking System (DASTS) is a cutting-edge technology designed to optimize solar energy capture by continuously orienting solar panels in two dimensions, azimuth and elevation, to follow the path of the sun throughout the day. This abstract provides an overview of the DASTS, highlighting its key features and benefits. The DASTS incorporates precision sensors, motors, and a control algorithm to accurately position solar panels for maximum exposure to sunlight. Unlike fixed solar installations, this dynamic system significantly enhances energy generation, increasing overall efficiency and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. By tracking the sun's movement from east to west and up and down the horizon, the DASTS maximizes energy capture, increasing overall energy output compared to static solar panels. Increased energy production leads to reduced electricity bills and a quicker return on investment for solar installations, making renewable energy more economically viable. The DASTS helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable energy sources, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. The DASTS is adaptable for various solar installations, from residential rooftops to large-scale solar farms, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. In summary, the Dual Axis Solar Tracking System represents a significant advancement in solar energy technology, offering a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach to harnessing solar power. Its ability to continuously track the sun's position ensures optimal energy generation, making it a promising solution for a sustainable energy future.
