Abstract:
Solar tracker training system is designed to up graded and improved the solar trainer that available in University Kuala Lumpur British Malaysian Institute renewable energy laboratory. By having this solar tracker training system, the student will able do the indoor experiment when it comes related to the sun. This solar tracker trainer focuses on the basic experiments on solar technology which is related to the solar panel without tracker and solar panel with tracker. The experiment that can be done by using this trainer which are it consists two selective experiment that able do one experiment in one time. The two selective experiment which are untrack solar where the photovoltaic (PV) panel is fix at certain angle, single axis where the photovoltaic (PV) able make vertical movement move upward and downward which controlled by servo motor. From the both experiment, it show that when the solar panel fixed at 45 degree, solar panel able absorbed the optimum DC output at noon which is 7.81V while when solar panel with tracker, solar panel able absorbed the optimum DC output in range from 7.9V until 8.9V all the time as it perpendicular to the sun or light source.
