A REVIEW ON SENSORS FOR TRACKING THE SUN POSITION

  • Ms. Sindhu madhuri G

Abstract

A brief review of current advances of sun location sensors used in solar technology like photovoltaic modules, satellites, solar collectors and other applications is provided in this paper. In depth, the operating principles and geometric designs of many types of sensors for sun location are discussed. The research takes into account the assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of different design criteria, such as accuracy, solar Tracking failures, desired properties, field of view (FOV) and marketing, and the assessment of external parameters influencing the performance of sun location sensors (climate conditions: solar radiation, pollution and temperature); On the other end, it was reported in various studies that the major obstacles for this technology are which requires a solution are: cost-effectiveness, temperature operating range and efficient transmission of information, so that future studies can focus on these issues.
