Dear all,
Initially i coded for single axis solar tracker.The code working fine for Single axis system. Now I have array of solar tracker They are place 3200mm apart from each other.Now i wanted implement back track algorithm here. My location latitude:13.08 longitude:80.20.
Back track algorithm here is adjust panel such way that max shadowing get avoided.
x- modules length=1700mm
ω-modules angle will changes with time, Since i am using linear actuator my actuator angle will be +45 from 7AM to 9:30 Am and -45 from 3.30 pm to 18pm. During this period my tracker position will be in +45 or -45 deg angle. So question here during this period how to adjust panel posttion inorder to avoid shadow
Shadow length calculation formula

Excel fine found in below link.
