Etude, Conception et Réalisation d’un Suiveur de Soleil

Abstract

Among the energy sources to develop, priority is given to solar energy. Thus, among the constituents of a photovoltaic station, there is the sun tracker. The energy supplied by photovoltaic panels depends strongly on the amount of solar radiation they absorb. To maximum efficiency, the solar panel must be constantly oriented perpendicular to the sun. However, the position of the sun varies in a continuous way during the day from east to west according to the azimuth axis (east-west), and also during the season according to a zenith axis (North-South). To increase production in electricity, a photovoltaic system must be equipped with a solar tracker. This structure allows a real-time tracking of the sun’s path. The objective of this project is to design tracking System of PV panel.
