Need Of A Solar Tracker
Photovoltaic’s is the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells as solar energy. Solar cells have many applications. Individual cells are used for powering small devices such as electronic calculators. Photovoltaic arrays generate a form of renewable electricity, particularly useful in situations where electrical power from the grid is unavailable such as in remote area power systems, Earth-orbiting satellites and space probes, remote radiotelephones and water pumping applications. Photovoltaic electricity is also increasingly deployed in grid-tied electrical systems.

Criteria for choosing
Micro controller
1. The first &
foremost criterion in choosing a Micro controller is that it must meet the task
at hand efficiently & cost effectively. In analyzing the needs of a Micro
controller based project, we must first see whether an 8-bit, or 16-bit, or
32-bit Micro controller can best handle the computing needs of the task most
effectively.
Solar Panel Monitoring
System
• The PIC controller receives analog input
from panel.
• The maximum voltage which can be obtained
from solar cell is set as reference voltage in PIC controller.
Conclusion
Each and every
project is never complete as new things are learned further modifications can
be done.
Future Scope
There are always
remains an infinite scope of improvement to a system design. Its only the time
and financial constraints that impose a limit on the development. Following are
the few enhancements that may add further value to the system.
