| Abstract | A procedure that the installation of large-size fixed solar panels often resulting in the desertification of the land, thus raising the issue of improper use of landmass. Using the multi-linked dual-axis solar tracking system can maintain regular land use, prevent land desertification, generate power, and thus more eco-friendly. The ventilated design of this multi-linked system reduces wind resistance, and the environmental impact of wind and snow, thus extend the life span of the system and reduce the cost of investment. This is the main motivation of this research. The multi-linked dual-axis solar tracking system in this thesis incorporate 2 linear actuators as its driver, give impetus to horizontal axis and vertical axis, tracking the sun east-west ward and south-north ward angle of elevation. Its power source is a 10W photocell. The horizontally driven solar penal is in balance and therefore needed relatively low power consumption. The vertically driven solar penal needs only slight seasonal elevation angle adjustment, it incorporates one single actuator with the multi-linked system moving slowly and therefore is also low in power consumption. In sum, the system is an environmental-aware design. All the device components and transmission mechanism can be easily setup and replaced which marks another feature of this system. The control software can position and drive by the sun’s set orbit and the GPS device. After actual testing research, this system’s solar tracking accuracy falls within 20 degree tolerance, the incorporation of a low power-consumption dual-axis solar tracking system can increase the power efficiency more than 40%. Considering both power efficiency and environmental friendly, allowing easy maintenance of modular actuator interchange, this solar tracking system can be recognized by consumers for home application and therefore widely promoted. |
