This is consistent with past research that has shown
that dual-axis trackers can increase energy output by
about 28% over fixed systems.
2) Effect of Automated Cleaning: Introducing the
automated cleaning system for fixed panels
produced a 10% efficiency increase relative to the
baseline. This finding aligns with research showing
that consistent cleaning can improve panel efficiency
by some 7%
3) Combined Impact: Integration of both dual-axis
tracking and automated cleaning resulted the most
energy production, 41.7% compared to baseline This
highlights the combined advantages of both optimal
sun exposure and clean panels.
Experimental Evaluation of Solar Energy
Harvesting Using the Proposed System The
integration of dual-axis tracking, coupled with
automated cleaning and real-time weather
responsiveness, guarantees that the panels are always
positioned to maximize sunlight capture, resulting in
a significant enhancement in energy efficiency. This
conclusion supports the implementation of
integrated integrated solutions to optimize the
performance of solar PV installations Beldjilali, A.,
& Gana, I. (2021).
5 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE
SCOPE
By combining dual-axis solar tracking systems with
real-time weather monitoring and automatic panel
cleaning mechanisms, the efficiency and reliability of
photovoltaic (PV) installations are found to
significantly improve. The proposed system
overcomes two fundamental challenges with solar
energy harvesting: proper alignment of the panel and
surface cleanliness. It has been experimentally
validated that this kind of integrated systems can
increase energy output up to 30% in comparison to
fixed solar panels. This advancement highlights the
opportunity to enhance solar energy capture through
the integration of advanced tracking technologies
and automation techniques in maintenance.
Future Work The proposed system has the
capability to extend by incorporating machine
learning techniques, the system can learn from
historical weather data and make predictions about
future conditions.
