This paper presents the mechanical design of a single axis solar tracking system, as well as the electronic design of a system that to record in real time the electric power delivered by the solar tracker and to evaluate its performance. The interface was developed in Labview and it compares the power supplied by the tracker with the power supplied by static solar panel of the same characteristics. The performance is initially simulated using Pv-Syst software, and later validated with the data obtained by the interface. As a result, the use of the solar tracker increases the power delivered by a minimum of 19%, and it can go as high as 47.84%, with an average in increase in power of 19.5% in the monthly energy production. This experimental result was compared with the simulation by Pv-Syst software and shows a difference of only 2.5%, thus validating the reliability of the simulation. This behavior pattern coincides with previous studies carried out for equatorial latitudes.

Solar tracker is a device that detects the movement of the sun. Solar tracker receive maximum sun ray in order to produce the maximum power supply by the photovoltaic (PV) panels system. It also depends on the environment factor such as solar irradiation and temperature of the panels. This paper presents the development of the automatic solar tracking system, the construction of the sensor circuit, programming of the control system and also its performance analysis. This automatic solar tracking system is designed with an electronic circuit control using PIC that can trigger the dc motors when the LDR sensors detect sunlight. DC motor will move vertical and 360 ̊ horizontal to increase efficiency of sunlight to the solar panel. Solar panel for the project gets power supply from the battery. The battery will be charged using power from the solar panel.

And Performance

Solar energy is a renewable and inexhaustible source, besidescausing damage to nature, being clean and sustainable.Transform the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sunelectrical energy are used solar panels. In order to improveefficiency and performance of this capture, a low-cost wasbuilt, a single-axis solar tracking system for photovoltaicpanels. The solution uses the automation Arduino UNO R3,open hardware, two photosensitive sensors LDR GL-5528, inaddition to a servo motor capable of moving the surface of aphotovoltaic plate according to the detection of the highestincidence of light. The circuit and its components wereprogrammed using the Arduino IDE software, version 1.8.11.As a result, it was possible to follow the movement of thesun, differing from a static panel, thus ensuring greater sunshineon the solar plate, as a result of this traceablecontrol prototype.
