Abstract: A solar tracking system is a device or mechanism designed to orient solar panels, solar collectors, or other solar energy harvesting equipment so that they continuously face the sun as it moves across the sky. The primary purpose of a solar tracking system is to maximize the efficiency and energy output of solar power generation systems by ensuring that they receive the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day. There are two main types of solar tracking systems: 1. Single-Axis Tracking: These systems track the sun's movement along one axis, typically either the east-west axis (horizontal tracking) or the north-south axis (vertical tracking). Single-axis trackers adjust the tilt angle of solar panels or collectors to follow the sun's path from sunrise to sunset. Horizontal single-axis trackers are more common and cost-effective for residential and commercial installations. 2. Dual-Axis Tracking: Dual-axis tracking systems are more complex and can track the sun...

  unplush Title: Sun Tracking System Using Raspberry Pi or ESP32 Camera Module and Machine Learning for Solar Panels Abstract: This hypothetical research paper presents a novel approach to design and implement a sun tracking system for solar panels using a Raspberry Pi or ESP32 camera module and machine learning techniques. The proposed system aims to optimize the energy output of solar panels by automatically adjusting their orientation to follow the movement of the sun throughout the day. The system utilizes computer vision algorithms based on a pre-trained machine learning model to detect the sun’s position in captured images and subsequently control a servo motor to align the solar panel optimally. unplush 1. Introduction: The growing demand for renewable energy sources has intensified the need for efficient solar energy harvesting. Sun tracking systems enhance the overall efficiency of solar panels by dynamically adjusting their orientation to face the sun directly. This paper...
