Solar tracking system using Programmable logic controller (PLC)

[Junus2012]

Hello All

I would like to work in this project "Solar tracking system using Programmable logic controller (PLC) DVP ES2" PLC but I have not enough resources, So please help me

and by the way if you have any other ideas that can be given for a final year students projects, it will be also very useful

Any help will be very appreciated

Thank you in advance

two limit switches, a timer, a motor.
start at position 1 (early morning). set the motor speet to reach the other limit switch according to the speed the sun travels across the sky with respect toyour location. panel reaches other limit switch (end of day)... waits 4 hours, then travels back to limit switch position 1 (take your time, you have all night).

a second motor could set angle which is different in the seasons as well.

wi-fi connect this PLC to the weather channel internet data stream so your controller knows what season it is in and what the length of sunlight time will be each day.

Use two or more LDRs to locate the sun electronically and turn your panels.........
