[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for adaptively adjusting the angle of a solar panel provided in an embodiment of the present application, in one implementation manner, comprises the following steps: Step 101: Determine the geographical location of the solar panel based on the GPS (Global Positioning System), calculate the sun's position based on the current time, and use a light intensity sensor to monitor and collect the light intensity in the environment in real time.

[0023] First, the geographical location of the solar panel is determined according to GPS, which includes longitude, latitude and time zone. Then, combined with the current time, the sun position is calculated through astronomical algorithms. The sun position can be represented by azimuth and altitude. At the same time, the light intensity sensor starts working, and the light intensity in the environment is monitored in real time through a high-precision sensor. Assume that at 9 am, the sun is at a relatively high position, and the light intensity sensor detects a light intensity of 500W / m².

[0024] Step 102: Calculate the optimal incident angle between the solar panel and the sunlight according to the sun's position and the light intensity.

[0025] The optimal incident angle between the solar panel and the sunlight is calculated based on the sun's position and light intensity, so as to obtain the angle at which the solar panel should be adjusted to ensure that the panel surface is perpendicular to the sunlight, thereby maximizing the light energy absorption efficiency.

[0026] Step 103: Adjust the tilt angle of the solar panel in real time according to the optimal incident angle.

[0027] During the entire adjustment process, the sensor continuously monitors light changes. Once light deviation is detected, fine-tuning is performed immediately to ensure that the solar panel is always optimally aligned with the sunlight. Through this closed-loop control mechanism, the present application can achieve efficient light tracking of solar panels and greatly improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization.

[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, step 102 may specifically include the following steps: Step 1021: Establish a data model to establish a corresponding relationship between the sun's position and the tilt angle of the solar panel.

[0029] Build a mathematical model that relates the sun's position (expressed by its azimuth and altitude) to the current angle of the solar panel (horizontally and vertically).

[0030] Step 1022: Calculate the optimal incident angle according to the sun's position and the tilt angle of the solar panel.

[0031] The optimal incident angle is calculated by the following formula:

[0032] Among them, represents the optimal incident angle, represents the altitude angle of the sun, Indicates the tilt angle of the solar panel.

[0033] If the current solar altitude angle is , and the current tilt angle of the solar panel is The adaptive adjustment algorithm will use the above formula to calculate the optimal incident angle According to the calculation results, if the optimal incident angle is , this application will generate adjustment instructions to change the tilt angle of the solar panel from Increase to , to achieve the best match with the sun's rays.

[0034] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, step 103 may specifically include the following steps: Step 1031: Convert the optimal incident angle into a first adjustment angle of the solar panel in the horizontal direction and a second adjustment angle in the vertical direction.

[0035] Step 1032: According to the first adjustment angle, the solar panel is rotated in the horizontal direction to align with the direction angle of the sun.

[0036] Step 1033: According to the second adjustment angle, the solar panel is rotated in the vertical direction to match the altitude angle of the sun.

[0037] In another implementation, step 103 may further include the following steps: Reduce the frequency of regulation during peak energy consumption periods and reduce the amplitude of regulation when the light intensity changes less; and / or compensate for the tilt angle of the solar panel based on temperature.

[0038] Among them, the peak energy consumption period can be set according to experience, and the magnitude of the light intensity change can also be set according to experience.

[0039] For example, when the temperature changes suddenly, this application will automatically activate the temperature compensation mechanism. Assuming the ideal tracking angle is However, due to the shrinkage of the material caused by the temperature drop, a compensation angle is required. , this application will automatically adjust the solar panels to , ensuring the accuracy of ray tracing.

At the same time, the light intensity sensor starts working, and the light intensity in the environment is monitored in real time through a high-precision sensor. Assuming that at 9 a.m., the sun is in a relatively high position, the light intensity sensor detects a light intensity of 500W / m². In this embodiment of the application, GPS and light intensity sensors can be integrated into the solar panel bracket to ensure that they can work synchronously and collect necessary sunlight data in real time.

[0045] The adjustment module 430 is used to adjust the tilt angle of the solar panel in real time according to the optimal incident angle.

[0046] During the entire adjustment process, the sensor continuously monitors light changes. Once light deviation is detected, fine-tuning is performed immediately to ensure that the solar panel is always optimally aligned with the sunlight. Through this closed-loop control mechanism, the present application can achieve efficient light tracking of solar panels and greatly improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization.
