Abstract

This article presents the implementation of a two-axis solar tracking system and its impacts to increase the performance of the photovoltaic system in northern Algeria. The system enhances the efficiency of solar systems by optimizing their exposure to sunlight making the sunbeam perpendicular to solar panel. The main objective of the study is to develop a technically proficient and economically viable solution to increase solar energy production. The design relies on integrating light sensors and motors controlled by an Arduino board, enabling automatic adjustment of solar panel positions. This approach offers dynamic and precise orientation, based on light dependent resistor (LDR) sensor design and threshold value, resulting in a significant increase in energy output. The results show that the dual-axis solar tracking system can capture 60.64% more solar energy, taking into account the power consumption of the two electric actuators. The findings of this study will positively influence the promotion of clean and sustainable energy sources while providing a practical solution for more efficient utilization of solar energy in Algeria.
