Abstract

This project is to study and come up with an alternative source of energy as the concern on environment pollution and disruption caused by power generations from fossil fuel is getting more critical as time goes by. This project focusses on the solar energy source. The system will be divided into two sections which is tracking section and energy conversion section. For the tracking section, the system consists of a solar panel and tracking control mechanism. Meanwhile, the energy conversion system consists of the charge controller and the storage battery. In the tracking section, the controlling circuit uses the BiMOS II Unipolar Stepper-Motor Translator chipset which is programmed to operate the stepper motor in order to track the maximum of solar irradiance. For energy conversion section, the task for this system is to control the amount of extracted energy from solar panel to prevent the battery from overcharging. The output of this solar energy can be used in either DC application or AC application. However, for the energy conversion section, it will not come out with the hardware but the explanation about the system will be stated on certain chapter.
