Structural And Mechanical Design Of Solar Tracking System

This project deals with the PV Panel arrangement and its moving technique, auto tracking elements and its design. Domestic and commercial sectors are using battery backup system to challenge the power cut. Power demand is drastically increasing unproportionally to the supply. Hence, tapping of electricity from sun is mandatory requirement. A set of PV modules are integrated to the battery backup system. The charge mode selector will assign priority to use solar energy for battery charging / usage. In this system, the sunny days are used to tap out the energy. The efficiency of the PV cells are small only but by using auto tracking system the maximum possible energy can be tapped. Worm gear configurations in which the gear can not drive the worm are said to be self-locking.In this tracking arrangement,the worm gear riveted with PV array tracks the solar radiation.
