Abstract:
This research work addresses a solution for the problem of optimization of solar energy with respect to voltage output by doing a comparison of the fixed and the rotating solar system. While fixed solar panels are simpler and less expensive, they may not capture full-day sunlight properly and hence result somewhat suboptimal energy production. For this reason, due to the benefits derived from the movement of solar systems and the fact that their working system is rotating with the movement of the sun, the research is basically inclined to establish that this system is a better one in respect to voltage generation than the other. Hence, the main objectives for which the present test is designed are to quantify the difference in voltage generation of the two systems and to determine whether the gains in energy efficiency justify increased complexity and cost of a rotating system. The two solar systems were to be installed in the region: the system of the fixed panel and rotating panel solar. With consideration of right intensity every hour for the specified duration, records and measurements were done over the output voltage. In average form, the fixed solar system can be seen to generate 19 volts in one hour by average, whereas average of 24.06 volts in one hour can be realized by the ships using a rotating system. This 26.7% increased output voltage shows really well how essentially advantageous the rotating system is, in harnessing the optimal energy capture. From these results, it can be deemed that the investment brought about by rotating solar systems will be really huge in making energy capture maximally possible, especially in locations where the daily variations of sunlight angles are significant. The work has, therefore, added to the discussion of some of the value chains in gains that IoT technology holds with respect to augmentation in solar energy systems and more precisely in voltage generation and energy storage. Results confirm that the IoT-based rotating system offers a clear edge over the fixed system and quite proactive in capturing solar energy. These results have an important bearing on the design of future solar energy systems and their deployment in areas with different sunning conditions. The fact that IoT was applied successfully in this study proves it to be a key driver of innovation and efficiency in renewable energy technologies, opening channels for more sustainable and effective energy solutions
