Design and development of an embedded system for the control of a photovoltaic solar tracker with two degrees of movement and one driving force

Abstract

This project arises from the need to control the movement of solar panels, which have the addition of a mechanical system, it allows this feature through the implementation of a single motor that drives two rotation axes. To achieve this objective, an embedded system is used that has the capacity to adjust the movement path to obtain the highest possible efficiency of the captured sunlight, depending on the geo-position of the equipment, the date and time. The development of this device is the foundation of this work.
