The behavior of the mechatronic system is as follows. The principal input is the sunlight, and the system must convert the solar energy into electrical energy (through PV-technology), regulating the voltage value of the PV modules, and finally store it.
The robotic sensor consists of a 2-DOF robotic arm having the same structure as the sun tracking system; that is, the actuated joints correspond to the azimuthal and elevation angles (see Fig. 5). The end effector (link) of the sensor includes a set of five photo-diode-based solar sensors (Amphenol SUF083J001), which are mounted as shown in Fig. 6.
Solar tracking system motion control is simplified to an electric motor motion control, in terms of output angular displacement; therefore, the conception of solar tracking system can be presented as position control of one eclectic motor, considering the system operation is accomplished by one of two used two motors.
