Σύνοψη

This project appointed by the Higher Technical institute deals with the design construction and testing of a system for the continuous tracking of the sun on the horizontal and vertical planes for the purpose of solar energy collection.
Also it deals with the local irradiation parameters
and a study of the cost per unit extra energy collected
using the above system.
Encourage by the fact that in Cyprus the sun is
shining at least 10 months of the year during long and
short periods every day, intent to present a system
for control of solar energy collection.
The system is composed of three parts. The sensing
element of sun position, the main part and the driving
circuit. The main part is composed of a microprocssesor
which manipulates data input by the first part and outputs results to the driving ect. In appendices another
solution is given In details and also a completed drawing
ο Γ the mechanical structure is attached.
It is considered of importance to give some
information about sun, its energy and its location in the
sky annually. In chapter 3 a description or solar cells
is given. Also some hints about future development and
applications are included.
Finally there is an electrical approach aid analysis
in chapter C.
It is better to give the project in small integrated parts
in order to be more pleasant when it is going to be studied
I hope that in future time, more serious consideration
should be made about solar energy utilization techniques
and collect solar energy, which we have so much in Cyprus.
