Solar energy is a renewable energy. Solar energy can be utilized using solar panels. The use of solar panels mostly uses static or silent methods. The static method on solar panels cannot produce optimal electrical energy. This is because the intensity of sunlight received by solar panels is less than optimal. So that the resulting electrical energy is not optimal. Therefore we need a system that can control solar panels automatically. this system must also be able to follow the direction of movement of sunlight. This study discusses the dual axis solar tracker using smart relay-based astronomical methods. This study adjusts the angle of the solar panels to determine the movement of the sun. This study uses a smart relay to regulate the rotation of the DC motor (Linear Actuator) and the motor power window which functions as a driving force for solar panels. Astronomical method is used for tracking sunlight. This method is based on the position of the sun according to the lunar calendar. This method uses an angle sensor in the form of a variable resistor for elevation and a rotary encoder as an azimuth angle sensor. The results obtained from this study are the optimal electrical energy output from solar energy.

Analysis And Study

Roof mounted solar panels come in form of fixed panels, unable to adjust to sun’s position during day and throughout the year. As an effect, the efficiency of such solution is usually dependent on the roof slope and position of the building in relation to sun’s day arc during seasons. These problems can be bypassed in free standing solar installations by equipping solar panels with solar tracker installations. Thanks to solar tracking, solar panels can be dynamically positioned perpendicular to the sun position and gather energy more efficiently throughout the day. This article presents a possibility of creating a roof mounted solar tracking panel to increase its efficiency. A prototype of solar tracking panel with two axes of movement was designed with an intention of an easy adaptation to being mounted on sloped surfaces of building roofs. A reference stationary panel was used to compare the efficiency of both solutions. A 5-day study was carried out to determine if the proposed solution could provide any benefits. Based on the study, the authors made an attempt to draw a conclusion whether the design could considerably increase the solar energy output to be worth the extra spending associated with solar tracker installation.

This paper is dedicated to the research of solar energy issues, namely to increase the efficiency of solar panels and to compare the performance of solar panels in different configurations. The author researches and compares the performance of solar panels with and without trackers. The sun is an inexhaustible source of energy that mankind has yet to appreciate. Solar energy is the kinetic energy of radiation (mainly light) generated by thermonuclear reactions in the bowels of the sun. Solar energy is one such alternative, the neglect of which will in the near future lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. Solar energy is a progressive method of obtaining various types of energy through solar radiation. Solar energy is one of the most promising and dynamic renewable energy sources (RES). Each year, the increase in commissioned capacity is approximately 40-50%. In the last fifteen years alone, the proportion of solar electricity in the world has exceeded the 5% mark. To increase the efficiency of solar panels, designers and engineers are developing new devices and devices, one of which is a solar tracker. A solar tracker is a device that allows you to control the movement of the sun across the sky, as well as move the solar panel to the position where the absorption of sunlight is most effective. After the conducted experiment , calculations an comparison we can see the next results. Without the solar tracker our panel generated maximum power in 2.4 Watt. After the solar tracking system integration, our panel generated almost 20 (19.8) Watt of power! After this comparison we can tell that the generated power increase in 8.25 Watts. We can also admit that the amount of generated power depends on light intensity. But solar panels are the most effective when the solar beam falls perpendicular to solar cell and solar panel is at an angle of 75 – 85 degrees

Sunlight is one of the energy that can be used to generate electricity. Converting solar energy into electrical energy required a device called Photo-Voltaic (PV). However, output of PV hardly depends on the position of PV to the sun. The maximum PV output will reach when the sun position perpendicular to the surface of PV. Therefore, the device that can track the position of PV is needed. The aim of this research is to design a track solar system using Arduino and LDR sensor to follow the sun movement. This method will be applied to a 80 Wp solar panel. The output of the tracker solar system was compared to the fixed PV. The result shows that the output voltage of the tracker solar system reached 18. 81 V that was higher than the fixed PV about 18,56 V and the output current of the tracker solar system reached 4,27 A that was higher than the fixed PV about 4,19 A.

A solar panel is a device that can convert solar energy into electricity. The use of solar energy sources can be utilized as street lighting and garden lights. Today many use of solar panels mounted in static (silent) positions in one direction at one focal point will not get the maximum power point of the sun and sunlight received by the solar panel slightly so that it is inefficient at the time of charging the battery.The amount of solar energy that can be absorbed depends on the absorption of sunlight. Absorption can be optimized by making solar panels can continue to face the sun. This system uses ATMEGA8535 microcontroller with one temperature sensor to detect high solar thermal temperature received by solar panels and four photodiode sensors as a detection of light reflection received. These sensors can be able to provide a dynamic solar panels that are automatic and optimal in absorbing sunlight. With the absence of the use of solar panels as the lighting of the garden lights in Stmik Amik Riau and still using electrical energy from PLN, the purpose of this study is to build a solar panel control device that is able to follow the movement of the direction of the arrival of sunlight so it will be optimal in absorbing sunlight.Keywords: Solar Panel, microcontroller, Temperature Sensor, Photodiode Sensor

Solar panels are used to convert the energy from sunlight to electrical energy. The different impacts on the solar panel which influences the productivity of the solar panel are Sun movement and dirt which generate the fundamental impact on solar panel. Because of those impacts, less yield generated by solar panel so to increase the effectiveness of the solar panel is by utilizing tracking and cleaning technique. There is a framework which is mix of tracking and cleaning. In this cutting-edge world, power is likewise added to the most fundamental requirements in everybody's day to day existence. With the expanding request of power, destruction of the natural resources is done and will be used for energy generation. To adjust the shortage of natural resources unconventional fuels are used for power generation and are used by the most part of world. Among all the unconventional fuel sources, power created by solar panel energy is broadly utilized. The abundancy of this type of energy is more all around the earth. A framework which tracks sun as well as automatic washing of solar panel with automated instructions is required. The instrument requires a LDR for following the sun and for cleaning wiper module is required. Regarding every day energy production, the sun tracking - cum cleaning plan gives more energy output when contrasted with the fixed PV module. Without this framework this cleaning work is done by man force which is good for small scale but for large scale like power plant it is very difficult. Then led display is required to display the result of the framework.

Kebutuhan akan listrik baik untuk kalangan industri, perkantoran, maupun masyarakat umum dan perorangan sangat meningkat. Tetapi, peningkatan kebutuhan listrik ini tidak diiringi oleh penambahan pasokan listrik. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, energi surya dipilih sebagai energi alternatif untuk menghasilkan energi listrik. Alat yang digunakan disini adalah sel surya, karena dapat mengkonversikan langsung radiasi sinar matahari menjadi energi listrik (proses photovoltaic). Agar energi surya dapat digunakan pada malam hari, maka pada siang hari energi listrik yang dihasilkan disimpan terlebih dahulu ke baterai yang dikontrol oleh regulator. Keluaran regulator langsung dihubungkan dengan inverter dari arus DC ke AC. Hasil pengujian modul surya (photovoltaic) terlihat bahwa hasil daya keluaran rata-rata mencapai 38,24 Watt,dan arus yang didapatkan sebesar 2,49 A (Ampere). Hal ini dikarenakan photovoltaic saat mengikuti arah pergerakan matahari akan selalu memposisikan photovoltaic untuk tetap menghadap matahari sehingga tetap akan dapat menangkap pancaran matahari secara maksimal. [Title: Design Analysis of System Power Solar Cells Capacity of 50 Wp] The need for electricity is good for the industry, offices, and public and individuals are greatly increased. However, the increase in demand for electricity is not accompanied by the additional power supply. Based on these problems, chosen solar energy as an alternative energy to generate electric power. A tool that is used here is the solar cell because it can directly convert solar radiation into electrical energy (photovoltaic process). So that solar energy can be used at night, then during the day, the electrical energy generated is stored before a battery which is controlled by the regulator. Regulator output is directly connected to the inverter from the DC to AC. The test results of solar modules (photovoltaic) indicated that the results of the average power output reached 38.24 Watt, and the currents were 2.49 A. This is because the photovoltaic follows the direction of movement of the sun and always located at the photovoltaic to remain facing the sun. Therefore, it will still be able to capture the radiant sun to the fullest.
