Rapid population growth and technological advances have caused escalating demands for energy. Among the recent years, renewable energy especially solar energy has gained recognition for its abundance and environmental benefits in electricity generation. Solar energy could aid in reducing the dependency on fossil fuels. Solar energy is harnessed by different methods among which the use of conventional fixed photovoltaic (PV) systems is the most prevalent. There are limitations in terms of efficiency and innovation in a conventional fixed photovoltaic system. A Solar flower integrates foldable solar panels with a common foundational structure. In this study, a solution is proposed to enhance the performance of a PV system by integrating a solar tracker based on Light Dependent Resistor. This allows to maximize the energy extraction by maintaining the solar panel's orientation perpendicular to the sun throughout the entire day. These solar structures are not only aesthetic in appeal but could also revolutionize the potential of renewable energy technologies. The energy efficiency of solar flower is critically evaluated, with comparisons drawn to conventional solar technologies. The result demonstrates that the solar flower design with solar tracking outperforms the conventional system, yielding an average power output increase of over 7.1%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
