Abstract :
Solar photovoltaic energy is free, environmentally clean and it is considered as one of the most promising alternative sources of energy. The increase percentage of the output of panel and discharge differ with the solar radiation along daytime. The objective of this study is to generate maximum power by tracking the sun throughout the day. This paper deals with program, construction and to design solar tracking system with reflecting mirror using a stepper motor and microcontroller named Arduino system to increase the efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel. The efficiency of 12.86% and 10.14% are recorded for panel with and without mirror respectively. The application of mirror is an efficient and an effective way to enhance the performance of solar photovoltaic cell with the same panel area.
