Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved energy output in solar panels, highlighting efficient technology integration.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a smart dual-axis solar tracker and automatic cleaning system to enhance solar panel efficiency.
  • Designed and constructed a dual-axis solar tracking system with automatic cleaning mechanism.
  • Utilized light-dependent resistors to track the sun's position with two servo motors adjusting the panel.
  • Tested the system's performance in a rooftop installation.
  • The dual-axis tracker improved daily energy output by 34.6% over fixed-tilt panels.
  • The automatic cleaning mechanism recovered an additional 11.2% of energy output lost to dust.
  • Combined, the systems achieved an overall efficiency improvement of approximately 42% compared to unclean fixed panels.
