Abstract

The modern eras have seen different sources of renewable resources, which are naturally finding on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, tides, waves, and geothermal heat sources. One such example is solar power. The challenge remains to maximize the capture of the rays from the sun for conversion into electricity. A solar panel receives the maximum sunlight when it is perpendicular to the sun's rays but, the sunlight direction changes regularly with changing time. A fixed solar panel has a fixed orientation to the sky and does not turn to follow the sun. So, the attached solar panel is not able to generate adequate power. The best efficiency of the majority of commercially available solar cells ranges between 10-20%.…
