Popis: In this study has been worked on new method to increase the power output of solar cell by moving it in during a day and seasons with detecting degree of sunlight. And one fixable mechanism with three degrees of freedom has been designed and constructed for movement the panel of solar cell by very low power hydraulic arm and electric motor. In this system has not been used of any external sensor for detecting the best location of panel under the sunlight and just with measuring the output voltage of solar cell the controller finds the best position. In this way a micro controller form AVR family has been applied for sampling of solar cell output, controlling the hydraulic arm and finding the best position of panel under the sunlight. This system follows the sun like sunflower and with this way in all hours of day uses of maximum power of solar energy. The aim of this study is making a system for using in industry. And all of the equipments are cheap and installation of them is so easy.
