Abstract

Solar energy is becomes more popular nowadays because its form that free from the greenhouse effect and any wasted harmful to the environment. Solar energy can be converting into electrical energy using the solar panel. Commonly, there are two type of technology that applied in solar system which is solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV). Solar thermal is converting the heat energy to any other form of useful energy such as kinetic energy. Solar PV is converting the sunlight energy directly into electrical energy by using solar panels to maximize the power produce by using either active of passive system. Solar tracking system is one of the technologies used in solar PV system which is to maximize the use of solar energy. This research was conducted in order to analyze the efficiency of solar PV with solar tracking system by using automated of data collection. The research is focusing on designing the data acquisition system in order to automatically collect the data of electrical parameter which are voltage and current value to calculate the power produce. A data logger has been built by using Arduino UNO to collect this data. The power produce by solar tracking system will then be compare with solar fixed mount system in order to find out the efficiency of the system. The efficiency of solar tracking system is seemed to be higher that solar fixed mount proved by analyzing the data that have been collected. The power increase compare to fixed mount system was in excess of 10% and it can be considered as a high percentage in solar energy technology. Based on the result and analysis, it proves that all the objective of this project was successfully achieved.
