Abstract

The paper presents the mechatronic system for solar energy acquisition for using the system fed on. The mechatronic system with two independent movements affords the high accuracy positioning along the two axes for an optic beam narrowing having the main role of focusing the solar energy. The mathematical model and the design of its components are made by using Delphi. The control of mechatronic system with movements along the two axes, which are azimuth and elevation, has been done with microcontroller.
