Dual Axis Solar Tracking System Project

The project is designed and implemented using simple dual axis solar tracker system.

Dual axis solar tracking system project.

The ontrack tcx2 tracker controller is a cost effective microprocessor based solar tracking controller suitable for dual axis or single axis tracking applications. Five years ago i didn t think this made sense but as i ve gotten smarter in system level costs i see the tremendous value. To produce an efficient solar generation system a scaled down dual axis solar tracker was designed built and tested. In order to maximize energy generation from sun it is necessary to introduce solar tracking systems into solar power systems.

A dual axis tracker can increase energy by tracking sun rays from switching solar panel in various directions. Dual axis solar trackers the pst 2al dual axis tracker is a fully integrated system featuring smart components that work hand in hand to deliver achievable results during any type of weather and in challenging terrain conditions. The use of a highly portable efficient solar tracker can be very useful to applications of the military industrial or residential variety. We monitor the most important parameter such as solar irradiation battery voltage temperature sun angle and generated power.

Even better every component of the system is used all day long. This project was one of my final projects i did on my exchange studies in finland for this project i worked together with fatbardh this is a much larger and more advanced version of one of my first projects ever also a solar tracker. Dual axis solar tracker can simultaneously track sun s radiation in both horizontal and vertical axis. At most the solar tracker was perpendicular to the light source within 3 degrees.

Have no doubt our dual axis trackers are the ultimate in energy production. When a 14kw tracker like this goes up you get the performance of nearly a 20kw system. In order to achieve maximum efficiency the device tracks seasonal. Dual axis solar tracker with online energy monitor.

The dominance of single axis trackers in the large utility scale solar market sometimes steals the limelight from its dual axis cousins. But dual axis trackers those that follow the sun more directly than single axis models east west path have their place in residential and commercial markets. They use the same principle as the mountings of astronomical telescopes. It is a network ready controller and may be configured to operate as a single tracker application or be part of a larger commercial multi tracker solar array.
