Solar power generation is rapidly finding a prominence as a major part of power in the modern world. There are various problems associated with the tapping of Sun?s energy, such as movement of Sun. Researches has been going on to find new and efficient method to harness the solar power.
Commonly the solar panel is placed above the Earth?s surface facing the sun tilted at an angle of 450.But there is a problem, we can get maximum output from the panel only when the Sun comes perpendicular to the face of the panel. In late morning or afternoon, we cannot get maximum output from the panel. Thus for maximum utilization of the Sun through out the day, the panel must be kept perpendicular to the sun. This is possible only by tracking the sun
In this paper, I will be dealing with
Some aspects of solar power generation technique
An Automatic Solar Tracking System.
