Abstract

ABSTRAK Panel surya dengan sistem pemasangan tetap memiliki keterbatasan fungsional yang disebabkan oleh ketidakmampuannya mengikuti pergerakan harian matahari, sehingga sudut tangkap radiasi sering kali tidak berada pada posisi optimal. Kondisi tersebut berimplikasi pada penurunan efisiensi penyerapan energi surya, khususnya pada saat perubahan sudut azimuth dan elevasi matahari yang terjadi secara dinamis sepanjang hari. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, kajian ini difokuskan pada analisis konseptual mengenai potensi dan kinerja sistem dual-axis solar tracking melalui telaah pustaka terhadap berbagai hasil penelitian terdahulu. Secara prinsip, sistem ini dirancang untuk mengatur orientasi panel surya pada dua sumbu, yaitu sumbu tilt dan sumbu azimuth, dengan memanfaatkan sensor seperti Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), aktuator linear, dan unit kendali berbasis mikrokontroler yang memungkinkan penyesuaian posisi secara real-time. Hasil kajian literatur menunjukkan bahwa teknologi ini mampu mempertahankan sudut optimal terhadap arah datangnya radiasi matahari, sehingga berpotensi meningkatkan produksi energi listrik secara signifikan. Sejumlah penelitian melaporkan bahwa peningkatan rata-rata produksi energi dapat mencapai lebih dari 30% dibandingkan sistem tetap, meskipun besarnya peningkatan dipengaruhi oleh faktor geografis, desain sistem, dan kondisi lingkungan. Meskipun penerapannya memerlukan biaya investasi awal yang lebih tinggi serta tingkat kompleksitas perawatan yang lebih besar, manfaat jangka panjang yang dihasilkan meliputi peningkatan efisiensi konversi energi, keandalan pasokan listrik, dan percepatan pengembalian modal. Oleh karena itu, dual-axis solar tracking dapat dipandang sebagai alternatif strategis dalam upaya optimalisasi pemanfaatan energi surya yang berkelanjutan. Kata kunci: dual-axis solar tracking, efisiensi energi, panel surya, orientasi panel, energi terbarukan ABSTRACT Solar panels with fixed mounting systems have functional limitations due to their inability to follow the daily movement of the sun, resulting in the radiation capture angle often not being in the optimal position. This condition results in a decrease in solar energy absorption efficiency, especially during dynamic changes in the sun's azimuth and elevation angles throughout the day. Based on these issues, this study focuses on a conceptual analysis of the potential and performance of a dual-axis solar tracking system through a literature review of previous research findings. In principle, this system is designed to adjust the orientation of solar panels on two axes, namely the tilt axis and the azimuth axis, by utilizing sensors such as Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), linear actuators, and microcontroller-based control units that enable real-time position adjustment. The literature review indicates that this technology is capable of maintaining the optimal angle relative to the direction of incoming solar radiation, thereby potentially increasing electricity production significantly. Several studies report that average energy production increases can exceed 30% compared to fixed systems, although the magnitude of the increase is influenced by geographical factors, system design, and environmental conditions. Although its implementation requires higher initial investment costs and greater maintenance complexity, the long-term benefits include improved energy conversion efficiency, reliability of electricity supply, and accelerated return on investment. Therefore, dual-axis solar tracking can be considered a strategic alternative in efforts to optimize the sustainable utilization of solar energy.
