This article examines solar energy, ways to increase efficiency in the production of solar energy, the solar tracking system and the importance of its construction, as well as the principles of building this system. An electric circuit based on the H-bridge scheme has been proposed for the automatic control of the solar tracking system. The working principle of the electric circuit based on the H-bridge circuit is explained. It has been shown that the efficiency of a solar tracking system depends on the performance of the element base, motor and software used in the system. A truth table has been compiled to ensure motor control and to write the appropriate controller program. Keywords: Solar energy, solar panel, motor, H-bridge circuit

Product quality determines how well a product meets the customer’s requirements. One way of measuring and ensuring that the product’s quality is achieved is through incorporating the functional analysis approach in the design process of the product, especially at early stage of lifecycle. A case study involving the design of a dual axis solar tracking system is used to illustrate the approach. In the study, the designed solar tracking concept was compared to existing mechanisms. The designed concept was found to be, generally, less complex than existing models.

The Cost

: This study presents a misalignment light-guiding module to increase the effectiveness of absorbing light. For a general fixed-type photovoltaic (PV) panel, the misalignment light decreases the efficiency of the system. A solar tracking system was installed for obtaining higher power generation. However, the cost of the PV system and maintenance was 5–10 times higher than the general type. In this study, this module is composed of an array of misalignment light-guiding units that consist of a non-axisymmetric compound parabolic curve (NACPC) and a freeform surface collimator. The NACPC efficiently collects the misalignment light within ±30° and guides the light to the collimator. The light has a better uniformity and smaller angle at the exit aperture. The simulation results show that the optical efficiency of the unit was above 70% when the misalignment angle was smaller than 20°. The experimental results show that the power generation of the light-guiding unit was 1.8 times higher than the naked PV panel.
