Abstract

In a fixed photovoltaic (PV) panel, maximum absorption of solar energy will not be obtained because it depends on the amount of sunlight it is exposed to, considering the fact that the sun location is not always where we expect it to be. In order to solve this, the orientation and the tilt angle of the PV panel has to be adjusted so that the straight line of the sunlight is perpendicular to the panel at all time. The software created through this project is to simulate the exact coordinate of the sun as seen by the specific location on earth, in this case, tropical countries located in the equatorial zone. This software will not only show the power generated assessment between a fixed PV modules and sun tracking system, but also the location of the sun given by the present time and day.
