Paper Abstract
In the present work, a computer based photovoltaic sun tracker module is designed and implemented. Monitoring,
controlling, and recording features are fully obtained in the present system using an efficient programming environment
Design equations which are implemented allow the usage of the system anywhere anytime without extra hardware
tracking circuits. A carefully design hardware motor deriving circuit is designed and implemented to simplify the
controlling program without scarifying the required accuracy. The system generates the motors' controlling signals to
allocate the photovoltaic module to receive the maximize amount of the solar energy on its surface from sunrise to
sunset. The proposed system is successfully implemented for photovoltaic modules under realistic operating conditions.
