&s the sources of con!entional energy deplete day by day, resorting to alternati!e sources of energy

like solar and wind energy has become need of the hour.

%olar Tracker and In!erter is a critical component in a solar energy system. The in!erter

con!erts +9 power output into &9 current that can be fed into the grid and directly influences the

efficiency and reliability of a solar energy system. &nd the solar tracker tracks the position of the sun in

the atmosphere and control the solar panel motor accordingly so that the solar panel recei!es the

ma'imum sunlight radiation. In most occasions, 553<&9 and 443<&9 are needed for power supply.Because direct output from solar energy is usually 45<+9, 5#<+9, or #*<+9, it is necessary to use

+9$&9 in!erter in order to be able to supply power to 553<&9 electronic de!ices. In!erters are

generally rated by the amount of &9 power they can supply continuously. In general, manufacturers

 pro!ide 2 second and 4=5 hour surge figures which gi!e an indication of how much power is supplied

 by the in!erter.

4. %olar Tracker and the In!erter re>uire a high efficiency rating. %ince use of solar cells

remains relati!ely costly, it is paramount to adopt high efficiency in!erter to optimi?e the

 performance of solar energy system.

 

5. @igh reliability helps keep maintenance cost low. %ince most solar power stations are built in

rural areas without any monitoring manpower, it re>uires that in!erters and trackers ha!e

competent circuit structure, strict selection of components and protecti!e functions such as

internal short circuit protection, o!erheating protection and o!ercharge protection.

1. "ider tolerance to +9 input current plays an important role since the terminal !oltage !aries

depending on the load and sunlight. Though energy storage batteries are significant in pro!iding

consistent power supply, !ariation in !oltage increases as the batteryAs remaining capacity and

internal resistance condition changes especially when the battery is ageing, widening itsterminal !oltage !ariation range.

#. In mid$to$large capacity solar energy systems, in!ertersA power output should be in the form

of sine wa!es which attain less distortion in energy transmission. Many solar energy power

stations are e>uipped with gadgets that re>uire higher >uality of electricity grid which, when

connected to the solar systems, re>uires sine wa!es to a!oid electric harmonic pollution from

the public power supply network.

& %olar tracker is a de!ice used for orienting a solar photo!oltaic panel or lens towards the sun by

using the solar or light sensors connected with the machine using a motor, since the position of the sun

!aries throughout the day, hence to get ma'imum solar radiation at the solar panel.

•  P+--5$ ()+ck$)- - use the sunAs radiation to heat gases that mo!e the tracker across the sky.

•  Ac(5$ ()+ck$)- - use electric or hydraulic dri!es and some type of gearing or actuator to mo!e

the tracker.

•  O1$ #!!1 ()+ck$)- - use no sensing but instead determine the position of the sun through pre

recorded data for a particular site.

2. P+--5$ 7 G+- 8 T)+ck$)-

7assi!e trackers use a compressed gas fluid in two canisters each place in west ; east of 

the tracker. The mechanism is in such a way that if one side cylinder is heated other side piston

rises causing the panel to tilt o!er the sunny side.

 This affects the balance of the tracker and caused it to tilt. This system is !ery

reliable and needs little maintenance.

A%5+(+$- :

They are cheaper ; effecti!ely increase the efficiency of the solar panel.

D-+%5+(+$-:

gas tracker will !ery rarely point the solar panels directly to the sun, due to the

temperature !aries from day to day and !ercast days are also a problem can damage

the panel.

"hen the sun appears and disappears behind clouds, causing the gas in the

li>uid in cylinders to e'pand and contract resulting in erratic mo!ement of the de!ice,often causes damage.

4. Ac(5$ T)+ck$)-:

&cti!e trackers- measure the light intensity from the sun by using Glight sensors Gto

determine where the solar modules should be pointing. ight sensors are positioned on

the tracker at !arious locations in specially shaped holders.If the sun is not facing the tracker directly there will be a difference in light

intensity on one light sensor compared to another and this causes to determine in which

direction the tracker has to tilt with the help of the stepper or dc motor in order to be

facing the sun. +R&"B&9(%- n o!ercast days it will be not so working properly due

%olar$powered lighting systems are already a!ailable in rural as well as urban areas. These

include solar lanterns, solar home lighting systems, solar streetlights, solar garden lights and solar 

 power packs. &ll of them consist of four componentsL solar photo!oltaic module, rechargeable battery,

solar charge controller and load.

In the solar$powered lighting system, the solar charge controller plays an important role as the

systemAs o!erall success depends mainly on it. It is considered as an indispensable link between thesolar panel, battery and load.

There are few sections of the solar in!erter they are-

4. The solar battery recharger,5. The solar panel1. Rechargeable battery#. The in!erter.

The abo!e mentioned in!erter circuit is integrated with a microcontroller that controls rotation of solar

 panel. & motor is attached which enables solar panel to function as a tracker as it captures radiant sun

 beam at different periods . E!ery time motor contolled by an microcontroller induces de!iation of panel

 batteries until it is disconnected.

& simple charger e>ui!alent to a &9$+9 wall adapter. It applies 133m& to the battery at all times,

which will damage the battery if left connected too long.

& battery charger is a de!ice used to put energy into a secondary cell or CrechargeableD  battery  by

forcing an electric current through it.

The charge current depends upon the technology and capacity of the battery beingcharged. :or e'ample, the current that should be applied to recharge a 45 < car battery 

will be !ery different from the current for a mobile phone battery.

The circuit uses a 45 !olt solar panel and a !ariable !oltage regulator I9 M 14H.

The solar panel consists of solar cells each rated at 4.5 !olts. 45 !olt +9 is a!ailable fromthe panel to charge the battery. 9harging current passes through +4 to the !oltage

regulator I9 M 14H. By adjusting its &djust pin, output !oltage and current can beregulated.

<R is placed between the adjust pin and ground to pro!ide an output !oltage of 6 !olts to

the battery. Resistor R1 Restrict the charging current and diode +5 pre!ents discharge of

current from the battery. Transistor T4 and ener diode + act as a cut off switch whenthe battery is full. 0ormally T4 is off and battery gets charging current.

"hen the terminal !oltage of the battery rises abo!e 8.* !olts, ener conducts and

 pro!ides base current to T4. It then turns on grounding the output of M 14H to stopcharging.

The solar panel powers the charger in 45< which is regulated and the sent to the battery

for charging.

& solar panel Calso solar module, photo!oltaic module or photo!oltaic panelD is a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells, also known as photo!oltaic cells. The solar

 panel can be used as a component of a larger photo!oltaic system to generate and supply

electricity in commercial and residential applications.

Because a single solar panel can produce only a limited amount of power, manyinstallations contain se!eral panels. & photo!oltaic system typically includes an array of

solar panels, an in!erter, and sometimes a battery and interconnection wiring.

%olar panels use light energy CphotonsD from the sun to generate electricity

through the photo!oltaic effect. The structural Cload carryingD member of a module can

either be the top layer or the back layer. The majority of modules use wafer$ based crystalline silicon cells or thin$film cells based on cadmium telluride or silicon.

The conducting wires that take the current off the panels may contain sil!er, copper or

other non$magnetic conducti!e transition metals.

The cells must be connected electrically to one another and to the rest of thesystem. 9ells must also be protected from mechanical damage and moisture. Most solar

 panels are rigid, but semi$fle'ible ones are a!ailable, based on thin$film cells.

Electrical connections are made in series to achie!e a desired output !oltage

and=or in parallel to pro!ide a desired current capability.

%eparate diodes may be needed to a!oid re!erse currents, in case of partial or total

shading, and at night. The p$n junctions of mono$crystalline silicon cells may ha!eade>uate re!erse current characteristics that these are not necessary. Re!erse currents

waste power and can also lead to o!erheating of shaded cells. %olar cells become lessefficient at higher temperatures and installers try to pro!ide good !entilation behind solar

 panels.

 %ome recent solar panel designs include concentrators in which light is focused

 by lenses or mirrors onto an array of smaller cells. This enables the use of cells with a

high cost per unit area Csuch as gallium arsenideD in a cost$effecti!e way.

+epending on construction, photo!oltaic panels can produce electricity from a range

of fre>uencies of light, but usually cannot co!er the entire solar range Cspecifically,ultra!iolet, infrared and low or diffused lightD. @ence much of the

incident sunlight energy is wasted by solar panels, and they can gi!e far higherefficiencies if illuminated with monochromatic light. Therefore, another design

concept is to split the light into different wa!elength ranges and direct the beams onto

different cells tuned to those ranges. This has been projected to be capable of raising

efficiency by 23F.

9urrently the best achie!ed sunlight con!ersion rate Csolar panel efficiencyD is

around 54F in commercial products, typically lower than the efficiencies of their cells inisolation. The energy density of a solar panel is the efficiency described in terms of peak

 power output per unit of surface area, commonly e'pressed in units of watts per s>uare

foot C"=ft5D. The most efficient mass$produced solar panels ha!e energy density !alues of 

greater than 41 "=ft5 C4#3 "=m5D.

7olycrystalline silicon panels are the cheapest solar panels to produce so they are

usually the cheapest for consumers to buy. The maintenance costs of polycrystalline

silicon panels is lower than the maintenance cost of monocrystalline solar panels because

if one of the cells on a polycrystalline panel is damaged you can ha!e the indi!idual cell

replaced without ha!ing to replace the entire panel.

metal, like copper, with a thin silicon film o!er the top that is attached to some metal

 pieces.

These panels are !ery cheap to produce but when youAre buying solar panels for

 buying. )nfortunately, though cheap to begin with they do not produce much energy,

therefore amorphous silicon panels are not going to be cost effecti!e in the long run.
