Abstract:
    Previous research mainly concentrated on the development of sensor-based solar tracking systems using sun position sensors to increase the efficiency of PV systems like LDR's sensor.The performance of solar tracking can be negatively impacted by the severe limits of LDRs (such as saturation of light intensity and ineffectiveness under poor visibility situations) which are overcome by UV sensors.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    The System will increase the PV energy generation upto 40 to 50% by utilizing the advantage of UV radiation enhancement and UV sensor capability.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   People who consume great amount of electricity will able enhance there energy efficiency upto 40% by UV sensor based solar tracking system and the household and industries users will be beneficial from our system.
How will the solution works
    Four intensity signals of UV radiation obtained by UV sensors are compared and employed as inputs to the solar tracking system after it is implemented on a pseudo-azimuthal mounting structure, which is capable of following the sun trajectory through daily and elevation angles. UV sensor is used for detecting the intensity of incident UV radiation through which the UV sensor can remain sensitive to high intensities of incident UV radiation without attaining saturation andincreasethe efficiency.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Major players in solar tracking system will be our competitors but we are able to produce evolutionary product which will make our system poles apart from other companies.
