Abstract

This article provides a brief overview of the state of solar energy in the world. Disadvantages of fossil energy sources are discussed. Low efficiency is considered the main disadvantage of renewable energy sources. A possible way to improve efficiency of solar modules through the use of solar tracking systems (STS) is analyzed. STS is a special device with two drives for horizontal and vertical guidance to ensure that solar modules face the highest light flux source and thereby increase generation of electricity using a special algorithm. The theoretical increase in production for systems under ideal conditions is calculated; working values thereof are given. The disadvantages of the considered type of renewable energy generators are listed. The calculation of wind loads on the STS was carried out according to the presented method. Examples of destruction of solar power plants by natural disasters are given. A new type of solar trackers with a self-deploying system is proposed; these can protect the installation from unfavorable weather conditions. We analyzed accuracy of the positioning algorithm developed for this device. The conclusion contains possible ways of using the installation, its disadvantages, as well as plans for future research.
