CONTROL OF THE PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS BY AUXILIARY PANELS

OLIVA, P.; MOTL, Z.

Abstract

This benefit is aimed to problems of gadgetry of slight turning of photovoltaic panels by auxiliary panels. Photovoltaic panels are connected to a rotary rack and they are able to follow the solar motion on the sky in one or two directions and rotate the panel vertically to the solar radiation. Rotary system is controlled by auxiliary panels and motors and can be used in various combinations for slight turning around one axis, mostly around vertical axis, or around both axes. In the second part of the article there is described how to set up the photovoltaics panels to get higher amount of electrical energy. This section is divided into two parts. At the beginning there is described the Maximum Power Point and its settings. And finally the last section deals with the principle desciebing of the shadowing. The last part is deals with the use of auxiliary panels for adjustment of the photovoltaic panels directly to the Sun position. There is described using of one auxiliary panel to control the photovoltaic panel. There is also demonstrated how to fix the auxiliary panel and how to connect the auxiliary panel output to a power up a motor. This section also explains how to fix and connect the auxiliary photovoltaic field when is two axis control.
