| Summary: | This paper is the outcome of a small scale hybrid energy generator (hydro and
photovoltaic) project. It contains the photovoltaics part of the project. The demand of energy
resources is increasing day by day. That is why people nowadays tend to move on and changes
their energy usage from using fossil fuels to a cleaner and green energy like hydro energy,
solar energy etc. Nevertheless, energy is hard to come by for people who live in remote areas
and also campsites in the remote areas which need continuous energy sources to power the
facilities. Thus, the purpose of this project is to design and develop a small scale hybrid energy
generator to help people that are in need of power. This main objective of this project is to develop and analyze the effectiveness of solar trackers in order to increase the electricity generation from solar energy. Software like Solidworks and Arduino is used to sketch and
construct the design and also to program the microcontroller respectively. Experimental results
show the effectiveness of the designed solar tracker sytem. |
