solar monitoring system using GSM and GPS module.
AIM OF PROJECT:
Our aim is to design the system, which will automatically track the sun’s position and accordingly change the direction of the solar panel to get the maximum output from the solar cell.
Along with this we are going to make a solar monitoring system using GSM and GPS module.
PROBLEM DEFINITION:
To implement a solar tracking system which will automatically track sun’s position to increase the efficiency of solar system. The GSM facility is provided within the system which helps the user to monitor the system from anywhere in the world.
RECENT TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN FIELD:
Existing techniques for tracking sun rely typically on one of the following methods:
1. One of the methods makes use of sensors mounted on solar panels to obtain the desired rotation.
2. In other method the diurnal motion of the sun is well understood and the telescope is accurately mounted whose orientation is computer controlled depending on sun’s calculated position
But in our system we are directly tracking the sun’s position without making use of sensors thus making the system cost efficient. We are also providing the GSM facility by which we can monitor the system from anywhere in the world.
