Abstract

The pivotal focus of this study is to analyse solar tracing, a technique that uses global positioning system (GPS) technology to locate the sun’s potentially hazardous scene and boost the power production of a PV panel. Using the encoded information, the microcontroller’s navigation module can make an educated guess as to which way the bath is facing. The primary aim of the investigation is to improve efficiency and effectiveness in order to derive the greatest possible benefit from the gold standard. As this system is automatically managed and its parameters were approximated using less precise methodologies, it requires little maintenance. Solar tracers, which are controlled by solar gathering devices, are commonly used for this purpose. Several shortages in the renewable energy industry’s labor force will be filled as businesses adapt to the new technologies. Because of this innovation, the PV plate and the accompanying technologies that work with it will be more productive than ever before. These mechanical devices, created by the solar celestials, will be used to predict the path of the sun’s rays, monitor its radiation, and increase productivity. As a direct result of the computation and findings, it was decided that the mechanically controlled solar tracer is the most stable approach for having to boost photovoltaic efficiency with the PV tray. Maximum efficiency can be attained in both domestic and industrial settings with the help of this technology.
