الملخص الإنجليزي

The photovoltaic panels have a limited efficiency and have to be increased.

To increase the photovoltaic panel efficiency a dual axis solar tracking system is designed and used to track the sun position.

The Siemens S7-1214 DC/DC/DC PLC is used to control the dual axis solar tracking system rotation.

Four LDRs are used to detect the sun position in the sky so that the tracking system follows it to make the solar radiation perpendicular on photovoltaic panel surface.

The proposed approach is compared to a fixed panel system.

The results show that the proposed solar tracking system enlarges the output power of the photovoltaic panel by 39.27%.
