Abstract

Solar energy is the primary energy to continue the process of life in the earth system especially for human, animal and plants. As we know, solar energy is clean, environmentally friendly and definitely does not produce any pollution. This energy does not cause damage to natural resources and most importantly solar energy is the one of the most popular sources of energy and fastest growing in the world. To ensure the use of solar energy at the maximum level, a solar tracking system should be developed. This is because in order to maximize the utilization of solar energy, solar panel must be constantly aligned towards the direction of the sun. So, the function of the solar tracking system is to ensure that the solar panel is always parallel to the sun for the maximum energy output. This thesis will discuss the development of the dynamic solar tracker compared to static solar tracker. A solar tracking system is designed, implemented and experimentally tested. The potential and advantages of proposed solar tracker together with analysis and improvement for the future are shown.
