Dual Axis Solar Tracking System
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a senior design project, we have created a solar tracking system . The key requirements for this system were to create an effective and low cost system in order to optimise efficiency of solar panel . The developed solution is a prototype that might be built upon to create a production model. The motivation, solution (including design, implementation, and testing), and analysis of the results are discussed in this paper.
