6 FAQs about [Servo motor control in photovoltaic panels]

Can a servo motor be used to build a solar panel sun position tracking system?

The goal of this project is to use a servo motor to design and build a solar panel sun position tracking system. Because the solar panel is currently set in pla

How does a solar panel servo motor work?

The servo motor precisely moves the solar panel to keep it aligned with the sun by moving a light source nearer to one of the LDR sensors. When the two LDR sensors detect the same quantity of light, the system makes sure that the panel stays exactly perpendicular to the sun’s beams, which maximizes the efficiency of energy collecting.

Why do we use servo motors for PV panel motorization?

What is a servo motor in a solar tracker?

A servo motor (SG90) for the solar tracker's vertical movement and a micro servo motor (MG996R) for the horizontal movement. A servo motor is able to wait for predetermined positions in the instructions given to it and then to maintain them, so it works in a closed loop.

How does a dual axis servo motor work?

A dual-axis mechanism is developed in order to tilt the PV panel by two servo motors facing the highest intensity of sunlight captured by LDR sensors, which are placed in the four corners of PV panel. The DAST prototype was constructed practically and tested using a real-time virtual instrument based on Excel to determine its efficiency.

How can low power servo motors improve tracking system performance?

The study findings showed that the use of low power servo motors carefully designed to move the tracking device hub substantially reduced the power required by the tracking system. Arduino board which belongs to a family of low-cost control system was also found to be extremely energy efficient.
