Sun-Tracking Solar Panel
CSEF · 2023 Electronics & Electromagnetics Honorable_mention Award
Overview
My project is a sun-tracking solar panel. The purpose is to get it to follow the sun across the sky, and generate more power than a static one. My procedure is to measure power with analyzers on a static and moving one. The sun tracking solar panel generated 48.29% more power than the stationary one, showing that it’s a better option than a static one.
