A Method of Hybrid Solar Tracking Prototype for MPPT

The non-renewable sources are the main sources of running our power plants and industries. But the problem is that these are limited sources, are not renewable and cannot full fill our needs in the future. And harmful gasses are also produced in the burning of fossil fuels which pollute the atmosphere. The increasing interest of the environment, rising demand for electrical power and an increasing cost of fossil fuels are few of the numerous factors that force one to intensify the utilization of renewable energy sources. The solar energy represents a clean, pollution free, infinite and easily accessible energy source. Maximizing power output from a solar system is desirable to increase efficiency. In order to maximize heat output from the Solar System, one needs to keep the System aligned with the sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required. This is a far more cost-effective solution than purchasing additional solar System placed in different angles. This project develops a hybrid tracking system which will keep the solar system aligned with the sun in order to maximize heat efficiency.
