Aumento da eficiência na captação de raios solares na produção de energia elétrica em células fotovoltaicas, por meio de um seguidor solar

Abstract

Research in the field of renewable energy has grown since the oil crisis of 1973 to meet the need for energy in a sustainable way. Solar energy as a renewable energy has been obtained with the possibility of quick compensation with a long term. One of the ways to improve the acquisition of photovoltaic energy would be to increase the rate of photocells, such as the one made in this work with a movement capable of maintaining a greater time interval in the rotation of the solar rays in the photovoltaic. Through a control made with arduino, to drive a servo motor from the light intensity captured by light sensors. The results were satisfactory, presenting an increase of about 15% in relation to the fixed systems, proven or increased efficiency in the capture of the photocells.
