INTRODUCTION

3.  Challenges in Solar Panel Efficiency: World is facing a major
problem of climate change. which is mainly due to the fossil
fuel combustion. To combat this problem world is moving
towards carbon neutrality by adopting renewable energy
sources for energy production.
 As a renewable energy resource the only limitation of solar
panel is our ability to turn it into electricity in an efficient and
cost effective way.
 Renewable energy sources offer sustainable alternatives to
fossil fuels, minimizing environmental pollution and climate
change. Efficient thermal management is crucial in optimizing
the performance of renewable energy systems, such as solar

5.  Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) harnesses the sun's energy by
concentrating sunlight onto a small area using mirrors or
lenses. The concentrated sunlight is then converted into
thermal energy or directly into electricity.
 Mirrors and lenses focus sunlight onto the solar panel,
maximizing energy capture. They reflect and redirect sunlight,
increasing intensity and enhancing efficiency.
 Concentrated light offers higher energy generation, cost-
effectiveness, and improved performance in solar systems.

AND LENSES

6.  A water cooling system is a method used to stabilize and
regulate the temperature of a solar panel by circulating water
behind it. By utilizing water as a cooling medium, heat
generated by the solar panel is transferred away, preventing
overheating and ensuring optimal performance.
 In our project, we will utilize a SCADA system for real-time
temperature monitoring of the solar panel system. This will
enable remote control and early detection of any temperature
abnormalities, allowing us to take proactive measures for
optimal performance and efficiency. The SCADA system will
play a critical role in ensuring the temperature stability of the
solar panel and enhancing the overall success of our project.

7.  Solar tracking optimizes solar panel efficiency by aligning
them with the sun's position. It increases energy generation,
minimizes losses, and extends peak production. Our project
incorporates solar tracking to enhance the overall
performance and efficiency of the solar panel system.
 Maximizing sunlight exposure is crucial for solar energy
systems as it increases energy generation, optimizes resource
utilization, mitigates shading, and enhances performance in
non-ideal conditions.
SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM

8. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) utilizes mirrors or lenses to
concentrate sunlight onto a small area, converting it into
thermal energy or electricity. This concentrated light maximizes
energy capture, improves efficiency, and offers cost-
effectiveness. A water cooling system stabilizes solar panel
temperature, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal
performance. Real-time temperature monitoring using a SCADA
system enables proactive control and early detection of
abnormalities. Solar tracking aligns panels with the sun,
boosting energy generation and performance. Maximizing
sunlight exposure enhances energy generation, resource
utilization, shading mitigation, and performance in non-ideal
conditions.
