Introduction Photovoltaic solar power is one of the most promising
renewable energy sources in the world. At noon on a cloudless day at the equator, the power of
the sun is about 1 kW/m², as the sun rays comes perpendicular to a plane.
PV arrays can track the sun through each day to greatly enhance energy collection.
A remote home can be virtually self-sufficient with solar power.

Introduction A solar tracker orients a solar photovoltaic panel or
concentrating solar reflector or lens toward the sun to maximize irradiation.
The sun's position in the sky varies both with the seasons and time of day as the sun moves across the sky.
The solar energy intercepted by the solar panels during the course of the day is not maximized if the position of the panel is always static.
Dynamically oriented solar panels can track the sun throughout each day to greatly enhance energy collection.

Introduction The required accuracy of the solar tracker depends on the
application. Concentrators, especially in solar cell applications, require
a high degree of accuracy to ensure that the concentrated sunlight is directed precisely to the powered device.
Typically concentrator systems will not work at all without tracking.
Very large power plants or high temperature materials research facilities require very high precision similar to that used for solar telescopes.

describes the I-V characteristics of the PV circuit is

Modeling the PV Array The light-generated current of the photovoltaic cell depends
linearly on the solar irradiation and is also influenced by the temperature,
Iph,nom, light generated current in solar cell circuit at nominal conditions (when temperature is 250 Celsius and irradiance of 1000 W/m2)ΔTem=T-Tnom, T is actual temperature and Tnom is the nominal temperature,G is the actual irradiation and Gnom is the nominal irradiation (usually 1000 W/m2).
The diode saturation current I0 and its dependence on the temperature may be expressed

Tracker Angles The position of the sun
during any time of day is calculated by knowing the azimuth and elevation angles. Both the azimuth angle φ, and elevation angle β measured from any pointon the earth’s surface
On the solar panel, these angles are

Tracker AnglesThe elevation angle β is the angle between the sun rays and the horizontal surface. It is complimentary to the zenith angle 𝜃𝑧𝑒𝑛.
Where L is the latitude angle of the location, δ is the declination angle, and ξ is the hour angle.

Solar IrradiationThe radiation at the Earth's surface varies widely due to:
• Atmospheric effects, including absorption and scattering;
• Local variations in the atmosphere, such as water vapour, clouds, and pollution;
• Latitude of the location; and
• The season of the year and the time of day.

Solar IrradiationThe solar irradiation falling on the solar panel is composed of three main components,
Direct irradiance : The radiation passing through the atmosphere in a straight path.
Diffuse irradiance : The radiation due to undirected scattered light coming from any direction in the sky.
Reflected irradiance : The radiation reflected from the ground.

Ozcelik Department of Mechanical Engineering Texas A&M ... · At noon on a cloudless day at the equator, the power of the sun is about 1 kW/m², as the sun rays comes perpendicular](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060303/5f08e3e87e708231d4243800/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Solar IrradiationTotal irradiance on any inclined surface is the sum of direct irradiance, isotropic sky diffuse irradiance, and ground reflection
θ is the angle of incidence, β is the angle of inclination, and ρ is the reflection coefficient.

ApproachOne way to maximize the current generated by the solar panel is to achieve maximum total irradiation available at any given time. This is possible if panel azimuth and elevation angles are kept at those calculated (desired) values during the day.
Generate desired values of elevation and azimuth angles between 7am and 7pm.
Control actual angles and verify that result in maximum irradiation, G.
