A review on the Impact of Solar Power Energy
Authors/Creators
Description
Solar energy is a clean source of energy that has a much lower environmental effect than conventional forms of energy. Solar energy has been an increase in a wider range of applications. Numerous research has been made on the use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in accumulating the solar radiations from the sky and converting it to electrical energy especially if the solar trackers are used. A solar tracker is a machine that is designed as a mounting for photovoltaic (PV) panels so that they track the sun in such a way that the panels are perpendicular at all times to its rays, thereby increasing energy efficiency. Nevertheless, most of these do not take into account the change of the sun angle of incidence by installing these panels in the immovable location, which is highly influenced by the solar energy that is collected by these panels. With the imminent insufficiency of non-renewable resources, the world is now considering using different sources of energy available nowadays. From all these available resources in the world available, solar energy is the most copious and is quite tranquil to convert it to electrical energy. The principal objective of this study is to analyze the various solar tracking devices, reasons why solar power energy is required and the components use in the solar tracker system.
