Increasing The Yield Of PV Panels: A Review

Soiling,Image Processing,solar tracking

With the increasing rate at which fossil fuels are depleting,
there is a recent advent of technology in solar cells. The
efficiency of a typical industry standard PV panel is around 18-
20% which is quite low. To get more yield different approaches
in installation design are there. Here we discussed solar tracking
and soiling of PV panels. A comparative study of different
implementations is presented. We made a comparison based
on these, wherein there are different physical and geographical
inputs based on which it suggests what type of PV panel should
be installed and what should be done about soiling. From this
data, we made a tool which guides the people installing PV panels
about which tracker and soiling solution they should use. At the
end, we presented our own hybrid solar tracking system using
image processing.
