Solar energy fully automatic control system

How does an automatic solar system work?

Automatic STS rely on accurate sun tracking, which can be affected by environmental factors such as clouds, haze, and shading from nearby structures or vegetation. These factors can impact the system’s ability to track the sun accurately and affect energy generation.

What is automatic solar tracking?

The main aim of any automatic STS is to maximize the amount of sunlight that the solar concentrator or module will receive, resulting in the maximization of the overall energy outputs of the system. Solar tracking can be performed in two ways: single-axis tracking and double-axis tracking.

Are automatic solar trackers effective?

Currently, research into automatic solar trackers is on the rise, as solar energy is abundant in nature, but its use in a highly efficient way is still lacking. This paper provides a detailed literature review and highlights some key advancements and challenges associated with state-of-the-art automatic solar tracking systems.

Why are automatic solar panels more efficient?

Automatic STS have become more efficient because of advancements in sensor technology, control algorithms, and precision mechanics. These systems can optimize the angle and orientation of solar panels to maximize sunlight exposure throughout the day, leading to increased energy production.
