Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system. As a result of the experiment, the voltage generated by the proposed tracking system has an overall of about 28.11% more than the fixed angle PV system. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction in medium and large scale systems. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or both.

panel tracking system. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is
able to remain aligned to the sun. This system builds upon topics learned in this course. A working
system will ultimately be demonstrated to validate the design. Problems and possible improvements
will also be presented .Sustainable energy systems are necessary for the economic growth and a
healthy environment. To overcome the issues about lack of energy sources the use of renewable
energy resources needs to be enhanced manifold. The main purpose of this paper is to present a
control system which will cause better alignment of Photo voltaic (PV) array with sun light and to
harvest solar power. The proposed system changes its direction in two axis to trace the coordinate of

ABSTRACT
In India, more than 200 million people live in rural areas without access to grid-connected power. A convenient & cost-effective solution would be hybrid power systems which can reduce dependency on grid supply, improve reliability. For a typical domestic load a solar –wind hybrid system is designed with charge controller to charge a conventional battery. To optimize system efficiency, a simple algorithm is developed for system sizing. Total cost of unit is calculated using life cycle cost analysis and payback period.

Needs and advances in energy generationAshokRamanan
This presentation mainly deals with the renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, tidal, geo-thermal, hydro, and biomass), many new technologies and techniques (such as kite energy, off shore wind farms, photovoltaic glasses and so on) to produce electricity and effective use of sensors, control systems and power electronics to improve production and efficiency
Solar technology is the novel technology which uses the natural sunlight to produce
electricity. It uses the combination of three simple technologies that is turbine, vertical chimney of some
longer height and glass roof collector for absorbing the sun radiations. By proper utilization of this
technology the electricity can be generated in abidance and continuously for twenty four hours
throughout the year in county like India where there is sunlight almost for nine months in the major part
of the country. Much advancement has taken place in this technology for last three decades but the full
utilization of this technology has not taken place because of various aspects. This paper presents the
critical review of this important technology in the form of the advancements and developments taken
place in various parts of the world and analyzes its important aspects.
A Systematic Review of Renewable Energy Trend.pdfssuser793b4e
This paper systematically and successfully reviewed the renewable energy trend from 2010 to 2023. This review
detailed the difference renewable energy and conclusion was drawn that solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has the
leading trend in power generation growth and innovation. This research work explained in detail the most recent
solar photovoltaic optimization techniques and it was observed from the review that hybridization of intelligent and
non-intelligent maximum power point tracking technique has the best tracking power conversion efficiency. The
advantages and disadvantage of solar PV together with the solar optimization and innovational growth trends were
examined. This research showed that clean and renewable energy sources will continue to grow and the solar energy
industry is expected to experience significant growth and rapid innovation in the next 10 years. From the observed
rapid growth and innovation trend in solar energy, the world will have a very cheap, abundant and clean energy
before 2050.
In recent years, the growing global interest in the conservation of environment has provided a fresh motivation for research in the area of solar energy utilization. Already, installation of solar energy extraction devices such as solar panels, solar water heaters, solar cookers etc. is becoming popular in urban buildings. Most of these devices consist of a solar receptor that is kept facing the sun during the day, but the sun moves from east to west and the efficiency of the panel decreases. If one could trap this extra energy source then the efficiency of the solar panel would be increased. A tracking mechanism following the sun would achieve this aim. An attempt has been made to develop a simple yet efficient sun tracking mechanism using a motor, a speed reduction mechanism and real timer. The mechanism has been designed such that the sunrays falling on the panel are always perpendicular to the panel resulting in increase in efficiency of the electricity generation. This report presents, in detail, the design and construction adopted to develop the functional model that was fabricated and tested for performance which yielded the efficiency increase of 28.41% as compared to the conventional stationary panel position.
Solar energy technologies refer primarily to the use of solar radiation for practical ends. All other renewable energies other than geothermal derive their energy from energy received from the sun.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic modules (also called photovoltaic panels) and solar thermal collectors (with electrical or mechanical equipment) to convert sunlight into useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.

2. • A sustainable living requires the use of sustainable energy. This involves the
use of power in such a way that it fulfills the requirements of the present
without compromising the requirements of the future.
starting from 21st
century , the society is in fear of lacking energy from
nonrenewable energy sources in a few decades of years. So the developing
cities & towns requiring huge amount of power are tending towards the
renewable energy resources.
This means that the energy source must be renewable, and must not harm
the environment or the people working under it. The most commonly used
renewable sources of energy are: biomass, water,geothermal, wind,
and solar
One among the field like Public gardens ,which increases beauty of the cities
& towns are also consuming more power for their lighting systems and other
needfuls. One of the important factor to be considered in the mantainance of
public gardens is to utilise the power in efficient way.

• A solar tracker is a device that orients a
payload toward the sun. Payloads can
be photovoltaic panels, reflectors, lenses
or other optical devices.
5. SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM
• Sunlight has two components, the "direct beam"
that carries about 90% of the solar energy, and the
"diffuse sunlight" that carries the remainder. As the
majority of the energy is in the direct beam,
maximizing collection requires the sun to be visible
to the panels as long as possible.
• So with the use Solar Tracking system maximum
power can be extracted from the sun light.
