Elimination of External Power Source for Solar Trackers in Agriculture Fields

As the world continues to prioritize renewable energy sources, solar energy has emerged as a key player in the transition towards a sustainable future. India has taken significant steps towards becoming a global leader in solar energy manufacturing, with both domestic companies and foreign investments establishing the country as a hub for solar equipment production. However, the efficiency of solar panels can be further optimized through the use of solar trackers, which can increase power output by up to 30-40%. While solar trackers have proven to be effective, they often require separate power supplies or consume significant amounts of energy themselves. In the proposed research, a novel solar tracker system that utilizes energy from earth batteries, a green and renewable energy source that is non-toxic and harmless to the soil. This system not only conserves energy but also reduces pollution, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of markets and applications. The earth batteries used in the system are composed of Aluminum and graphite electrodes, which are connected in both parallel and series combinations to achieve the necessary voltage and current levels for charging the secondary batteries and powering the solar tracker. The proposed system demonstrates that by combining clean energy, earth batteries, and solar technology, the proposed topology can create an effective and sustainable solution for agriculture and other industries. The use of earth batteries not only reduces the environmental impact of solar trackers but also provides a reliable and cost-effective energy source. The system has the potential to significantly improve the competitiveness and adoption of solar energy in various markets, while also contributing to the global effort towards a more sustainable future.
