Innovative Practices in Optimal Utilization of Solar Energy (Solar Tracking System)

Abstract: As the demand is ahead of the supply there is a dire need for efficient and effective utilization of resources. Hence an attempt is made to reduce the utilization of electricity from fossil fuel by optimally utilizing the Solar Energy. Which is achieved by Solar Tracking System. As the Solar Energy is one of the substitutes for fossil fuel, a breakthrough is achieved by adopting an alternative technique which is christened as Solar Tracking System A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the sun. Payloads can be photovoltaic panels, reflectors, lenses or other optical devices. In flat-panel photovoltaic (PV) applications, trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming sunlight and a photovoltaic panel. This increases the amount of energy produced from a fixed amount of installed power generating capacity and reduces the quantity of number of Solar Panels.
