MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007441 A) filed by R. M. K. Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 26, for 'development and construction of an automated dual-axis solar tracking system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Balasubramanian.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a sun tracking solar panel system designed to maximize solar energy generation by dynamically aligning photovoltaic panels with the movement of the sun. Unlike conventional fixed-orientation solar panels, the proposed system employs single-axis or dual-axis tracking mechanisms that continuously adjust the panel position to maintain optimal exposure to sunlight throughout the day. The system integrates light sensors, positioning algorithms, and automated control units to accurately detect the sun's trajectory and execute precise real-time adjustments. By maintaining an optimal angle of incidence, the system significantly enhances energy capture efficiency and power output. The adaptive tracking capability further allows the system to respond effectively to seasonal variations and changing environmental conditions. As a result, the invention offers improved energy yield, reduced payback period, and higher return on investment for solar installations. The sun tracking system provides a reliable, efficient, and sustainable solution for improving the overall performance of solar power generation in residential, commercial, and industrial applications."
