Abstract

In this paper, the design of a system for the control of a solar panel motion by means of a servomotor based on an Arduino board is described. The system calculates optimum tracks and position of the sun to ensure that the solar panel is always directed to the sun in order to increase the amount of energy generated by the solar panel. The device makes use of four solar modules for detection and a servomotor to automatically rotate the solar panel to adjust it to the sun position

Highlights

  • The development of control systems provides a high efficiency of automatization and a continuous improvement of this process and relevant equipment, methods, means, etc

  • Solar cells based on CdS/CdTe heterojunctions designed and developed in the Laboratory for Nanotechnologies of Ghitu Institute of Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnologies are used as the sensors

  • The photovoltaic properties of solar cells based on CdS/CdTe heterojunctions largely depend on the CdTe deposition rate
