Drying is a mandatory process carried out after harvest or production. Direct drying is a traditional method that is still used today, but this method has drawbacks because it depends on the weather. Pests, the rainy season, and at night are obstacles experienced in this process. This dryer can help solve common solutions for manufacturers. A dryer coated with clear acrylic it can protect the produce from rain, dust, and pests. The solar panel functions as a power source for the temperature controller in the dryer. 40-50 C is the right temperature when drying, it is not recommended that temperatures exceed 50 because it can cause dry food ingredients outside. Incandescent lamps and mini fans are temperature control devices to stabilize the temperature inside with temperatures of 40 ̊ to 50 C. Incandescent lamps also allow manufacturers to dry at night so that the drying process can be shorter than usual. The result found by the dryer is that it has a cross-sectional area of ​​2100 cm2 with a maximum capacity of 13 pieces with a diameter of 7 cm. The drying rate with the sun reaches 0.6% per hour, and the energy needed by the sun for 10 hours of drying is 36288 kJ. The power that can be produced by solar panels is 100 watts with the electrical energy needed for 10 hours of drying with a controller of 3600J.

Solar energy is becoming an alternative for the limited fossil fuel resources. One of the simplest and most direct applications of this energy is the conversion of solar radiation into heat, which can be used in water heating systems. A commonly used solar collector is the flat-plate. A lot of research has been conducted in order to analyze the flat-plate operation and improve its efficiency. The solar panel can be used either as a stand-alone system or as a large solar system that is connected to the electricity grids. The earth receives 84 Terawatts of power and our world consumes about 12 Terawatts of power per day. We are trying to consume more energy from the sun using solar panel. In order to maximize the conversion from solar to electrical energy, the solar panels have to be positioned perpendicular to the sun. Thus the tracking of the sun’s location and positioning of the solar panel are important. The main goal of this article is explaining all the solar thermal systems available and the integration possibilities with comparisons for better usages and integration process into design.

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

One of the new and renewable energy is the utilization of sunlight into electricity. which can be used to be converted into electrical energy using solar panels. Installation of solar panels that are installed for garden lights so far are often still placed in a static position (silent) at an angle of 90⁰, while the sun moves from sunrise to sunset. Because it will cause maximum energy absorption in solar panels placed in a static position only at 12:00. To overcome this problem a system is needed to track the position of the sun so that it is always perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel. Design and build Garden lights with a solar light tracking system on a microcontroller-based solar panel will later be made to move as it follows the direction of the sun's movement every hour, from sunrise to sunset. This tool will detect the time setting inputted by Real Time Clock (RTC) which is then processed by a microcontroller to drive a servo motor that functions as a solar panel drive machine so that the position of the solar panel will always be perpendicular to the sun throughout the day and the absorption of energy in the solar panel will more leverage. From the results of tests that have been done, the increase in the voltage of solar panels using a tracking system compared to solar panels without using a tracking system is 7.85%.

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.

Solar Tracker The generation of power from the reduction of fossil fuels is the biggest challenge for the next half century. The idea of converting solar energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic panels holds its place in the front row compared to other renewable sources. But the continuous change in the relative angle of the sun with reference to the earth reduces the watts delivered by solar panel. Conventional solar panel, fixed with a certain angle, limits their area of exposure from the sun due to rotation of the earth. Output of the solar cells depends on the intensity of the sun and the angle of incidence. To solve this problem, an automatic solar cell is needed, where the Solar Tracker will track the motion of the sun across the sky to ensure that the maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panels throughout the day. By using Light Dependent Resistors, it will navigate the solar panel to get the best angle of exposure of light from the sun.

Abstract A weather data collection study is currently conducted using a renewable energy training system. The system is composed of a LabVolt trainer, two sun tracking photovoltaic solar panels and a small wind turbine. The LabVolt training system is located in one of the McCoy School of Engineering laboratories, the solar panels and the wind turbine are located in the neighborhood of the Engineering building at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. A set of meteorological data collecting outdoor sensors to monitor the impact of weather conditions on the power generation of the sun-tracking photovoltaic solar panels and the wind turbine have been installed on the building roof. Weather parameters such as atmospheric temperature, pressure, humidity, and rainfall are monitored using a Davis Vantage Pro 2 data collecting system. A number of LabVIEW data acquisition cards and signal processing modules are used to monitor the sun-tracking photovoltaic solar panels’ output voltage, the wind turbine output voltage, the atmospheric temperature, the solar irradiance, and the wind direction, speed, and RPM. A voltage divider has been built to step down the 90V DC voltage produced by the solar panels to 12V DC voltage required for the trainer electrical circuits. A LabVIEW data processing program is used to create instantaneous graphic displays of the collected data on a monitoring screen. The LabVolt trainer is equipped with two charge controller electronic devices, one is used for the sun tracking photovoltaic solar panels, and one is used for the wind turbine. They are used to control the flow of electrical energy through a set of electrical loading devices and a set of storages batteries. Additionally, the LabVolt trainer is equipped with two kilowatt-hour-meters counting the electrical energy consumed by the electrical loads. The trainer is also equipped with two inverters transforming the 12 V DC voltage collected from both energy producing devices to 120 V that can be used by the electrical loading devices. A brief description of all used electronic components and devices is provided in the paper, as well a detailed experiment set-up with a procedure to run them. The project has been divided into three consecutive phases. The first phase dealt with connecting the solar panels, wind turbine, and data collecting sensors to the LabVIEW data acquisition software. The second phase is currently dealing with setting up the trainer solar and wind electricity providing circuits. In the third upcoming phase, it is expected that the data collected by the sensors will be gradually archived using Excel files and analyzed for weather data correlation purposes. It is also expected that the training system will be used to teach upcoming mechanical engineering students about how to set up an independent renewable energy system and the necessary equipment required to run it.

Electrical energy is a very important requirement for the community, along with the development of the era and technological advances that are urgently needed, the need for electrical energy is very large, while the source of electricity that is currently being used still uses energy derived from fossil fuels. As we know that the source of energy derived from fossils is very limited, therefore other energy sources are sought or we are more familiar with renewable energy, one of which is the energy source that comes from the sun, which is better known as solar cell. The electricity from this solar cell is very dependent on sunlight which must illuminate the solar panels so that solar energy can be converted into electrical energy. The output from these solar panels is in the form of voltage and electric current. Some factors that can affect the amount of output or output voltage of electric current in PLTS is, temperature, shadow, (cloud condition, and surrounding environment), and wind speed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out how much the shadow effect on the output voltage and electric current produced by PLTS. It is expected that this research can increase the knowledge of energy derived from the sun in this case the solar cell and know the effect of the shadow on the output voltage and electric current from solar panels.The results showed that there was a shadow effect on voltage reduction and current strength in the PLTS system, namely the 10% shadow area and 12.44 volt DC solar panel current and 2.54 amperage, 100% area covering the voltage output panel and the current of solar panels 12.10 volt DC and 0.22 amperage. The area of the shadow that covers the solar panel affects the output voltage and the strong current of the battery that is the area of the shadow 10% voltage and strong current battery 12.35 volt DC and 18.54 amper, 100% area cover the output panel voltage and strong current battery 11.90 volt DC and 13.85 amperes The shadow area covering the solar panels influences the output voltage and current strength of the inverter, namely the area of the shadow 10% voltage and 226.4 volt AC inverter current and 0.97 amperage, 100% covering the output voltage panel and 220.2 volt AC and 0.66 amperage current.
