Development of Hut Shaped Solar Photo Voltaic System with Rotating Convex Lens And Concave Mirror Mechanism

A novel method has been proposed to design and develop a Triangular Hut-shaped photovoltaic panel with rotating mechanism using modified maximum power point tracking (MPPT). In this, irradiance for the Primary panel can be provided by the nature itself with the available Sun and Secondary panels are to be provided by reflection with the rotating convex lens and concave mirror rotating gear mechanism. Here that the rotation of the convex lens and concave mirror will be depending upon the position of the Sun. To locate the Sun an electro-optical sensor will be used. It consists of light-dependent resistor (LDR) sensors to track sun position. Modified MPPT based controller detects the difference of voltage signals sent by the LDRs. Based on the outcome of LDRs, signals will be transferred to the Optocoupler for the activation of the servo mechanism. The servo mechanism of the convex lens and concave mirror rotates either in clockwise or anticlockwise direction based on signals reached to the driver circuit. The inputs to this controller will be solar irradiation and temperature. The experimental results of Triangular Hut-shaped PV panels will be compared with the conventional PV system results.
