Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention has a '-type chasing day system and a method for chasing the date, and is related to a kind of chasing that can reduce the tasting fee Japanese system and its method of chasing the Japanese. [Prior Art] In an era when energy is scarce and environmental protection is an urgent need, solar panel power generation has become an alternative source of promotion and utilization, and solar panels can be used with high-capacity storage batteries to flexibly use the electricity generated by the sun. In order to improve the efficiency of solar power generation (that is, to increase the power output of actual power generation), many solar energy research institutes have improved the material and light transmittance of solar panels, the quality of batteries, or the location of solar power generation. Also, the key to affecting the efficiency of solar power generation is whether the position and angle of the solar panel can fully absorb the amount of sunlight. According to simple common sense, when the sunlight is obliquely an object, the object absorbs it. The energy is less, and when the sunlight directly hits the same object, the object absorbs more energy, so the solar panel in the solar power generation system is preferably in the normal direction toward the sun, as perpendicular as possible to the sunlight. In order to obtain more energy. Among the types of the Moonlight/W-cell battery system, it is most common to receive sunlight at a fixed angle. With the sun running, the fixed-angle solar system will not be able to illuminate the solar panel vertically as the sun moves, thereby reducing the amount of solar radiation that can be absorbed by the panel. 201229444 ^^υυ-ti vy 1 36518twf.doc/n In order to maximize the amount of power generated by solar modules at any time, a solar-powered solar power system consisting of a solar module and a tracking system is currently used in solar power plants. The most suitable system for large power. The solar tracking system is mainly composed of a light sensor and an electromechanical servo mechanism. The sensor senses the position of the sun, and then adjusts the solar panel to face the sun to enhance the amount of sunlight received by the solar module. The sensor must be installed near each solar panel, and the erection angle needs to be parallel to the vertical angle of the solar panel, so accurate = position is required. Although this way, the solar panel can be kept facing the most at all times, and the direction D of the power generation amount will cause an error in the solar panel's = full angle when the weather is bad, and the energy required to adjust the angle of the solar panel may be greater than that of the panel. Get the outer ' after conversion. Since the sun position sensor is directly exposed to the outside, it is easy to make a dry ^^ beibei, and it is difficult to maintain the heat in each solar area. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A novel tracking system and a tracking method thereof can reduce the tracking effect. The invention proposes a tracking system, which includes a plurality of solar panels, a subunit, and a control unit.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the tracking system further includes at least one global satellite positioning system receiver coupled to the control unit for receiving a positioning coordinate issued by a global satellite positioning system, and the control unit is positioned according to the positioning The elevation angle and azimuth angle of each solar panel are calculated from coordinates, date, and current time. The positioning coordinates include a longitude and a latitude of at least one of the plurality of solar panels. In an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit further determines whether the current time is within a preset time period in which the sunlight is weak, and stops adjusting the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel if the current time is within the preset time period. The invention also proposes a sun-tracking method of the sun-tracking system, wherein the tracking system comprises a plurality of solar panels, and the tracking method comprises: sensing a solar radiation energy, determining whether the solar radiation energy is greater than or equal to a critical value. Light energy; when the solar radiation energy is greater than or equal to the critical radiation energy, adjust the elevation angle and azimuth angle of the solar panel according to a reference data, and when the solar radiation energy is less than the critical radiation energy, stop adjusting 201229444 yyuU41W1 36518twf.doc /n The elevation angle and azimuth of the above solar panel. In an embodiment of the invention, the reference data includes adjusting the energy consumption corresponding to the adjustment angle of each solar panel. In one embodiment of the invention, the critical radiant energy is the total energy required to adjust the elevation and azimuth of the solar panel. In an embodiment of the invention, the step of adjusting the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel further comprises calculating an elevation angle and an azimuth angle of each solar panel according to the position, date and current time of each solar panel. In an embodiment of the invention, the plurality of solar panels are controlled in an open loop manner. In a consistent embodiment of the present invention, the step of adjusting the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel further includes: receiving a positioning coordinate issued by a global satellite positioning system, wherein the positioning coordinate comprises at least one of the plurality of solar panels. The longitude and latitude of the panel; and the elevation angle and azimuth corresponding to each solar panel based on the positioning coordinates, date, and current time. In a consistent embodiment of the present invention, the step of sensing the solar radiation energy further comprises: determining whether the current time is within a preset time period in which the sunlight is weak; and stopping the adjustment if the current time is within the preset time period.

Based on the above, the present invention uses the control unit to compare the solar radiation energy with the critical radiation energy to stop adjusting the angle of the solar panel when the solar radiation energy is weak, thereby reducing the power waste during the day. 201229444 99004TW1 36518 twf.doc/n The above-described features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description. Embodiments FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a tracking system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 'The tracking system 100 includes a plurality of solar panels 1 2, a sensing unit 104, a storage unit 106, and a control unit 108. The plurality of solar panels 102 may be arranged, for example, in an array, and respectively disposed on a plurality of transmissions (not shown), and each of the transmissions & is respectively wired (for example, through a wired network) or wireless. The signal transmission mode is controlled by the control unit 108 to respectively perform the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the plurality of solar panels 102. In an embodiment of the invention, the control unit 108 controls the plurality of solar panels 1〇2 in an open loop manner to adjust its azimuth. Due to the characteristics of the open loop, when the solar panel 102 is controlled in an open loop manner, the tracking system 100 is less susceptible to foreign matter interference, and the erection and maintenance of each solar panel 102 can be made easier. The sensing unit 104 can be disposed on the area towel formed by the plurality of solar panels 1〇2 to sense the light energy of the sunlight. The storage unit 106 stores the reference data. The reference data includes, for example, the position of each solar panel 1〇2 and the adjustment angle of each solar panel 102. In another embodiment of the invention, the solar panel (7) 2 white location includes the longitude and latitude of each solar panel 102. The other storage unit 1〇6 and the control unit 1〇8 can be used, for example, in a computer or a third invention, and other devices having data storage and operation functions are also applicable. The control unit 1 8 is for determining whether the radiation energy of the sunlight is greater than or equal to a critical radiant energy. In the consistent embodiment of the present invention, the critical radiant energy is set to be the total energy required to adjust the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel 102, and the solar panel can be adjusted according to the storage unit 106 stored in the storage unit 106. The energy consumption data corresponding to the angle and the adjustment angle required to adjust each solar panel 1〇2 to the elevation angle and azimuth angle corresponding to the current time are calculated. When the solar radiant energy is greater than or equal to the critical radiant energy, the control unit 〇8 calculates the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of each solar panel 102 according to the position, date and current time of each solar panel 102, so that each solar panel 102 can be Achieve optimal photoelectric conversion efficiency. When the solar radiation energy is less than the critical radiant energy, the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel 1 〇 2 are stopped, and the power generated by the solar panel 1 〇 2 is prevented from being insufficient for adjusting the solar panel 1 〇 2 Case. It is to be noted that the tracking system (8) of the present embodiment uses only one sensing unit 104 to measure the light energy of sunlight, but it is not limited thereto, when the distribution area of the solar panel 102 is compared. If the illuminance difference between each of the 1% energy panels 102 is too large, more sensing units 104 may be added according to actual conditions, so that the control unit 1〇8 can more accurately adjust each of the too 1% energy panels 102. Angle. In addition, when the critical radiant energy is greater than the total energy required to adjust the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel 102, the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the solar panel 1〇2 are stopped, so as to adjust the angle of the solar panel 102. The energy consumed is less than the energy obtained by the solar panel 102 after converting solar radiation energy. In the embodiment 201229444 990041W1 36518twf.doc/n, the control unit 1 8 can also be directly set to not adjust the angle of the solar panel 102 during periods when the sunlight is weak, such as between 1 hour before sunset and 1 hour after sunrise. The angle of the solar panel 1〇2 is not adjusted to avoid waste of power. As described above, since the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of each solar panel 1〇2 are calculated according to the position, date, and current time of each solar panel 1〇2, the weather failure does not cause an adjustment angle. difference. In addition, this embodiment compares the solar radiation energy with the size of the critical radiant energy star to determine whether to adjust the angle of the solar panel 1 〇 2, so as to avoid the bad weather or the weak sunlight when the conventional technology is used. The energy consumed to adjust the angle of the solar panel is greater than the energy obtained by converting the solar radiation energy from the solar panel, thereby reducing power waste during tracking. 2 is a schematic diagram of a tracking system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the tracking system of the present embodiment is different from the tracking system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention in that the tracking system of the embodiment includes a plurality of global satellite positioning. The system receiver 202 is coupled to the control unit 108 and disposed on each of the solar panels 1〇2. The global satellite positioning system receiver 202 is configured to receive a positioning coordinate issued by the global satellite positioning system, and the positioning coordinate includes a longitude and a latitude of at least one of the plurality of solar panels 1〇2. In other words, the location of each of the solar panels 102 described above can be obtained by the global satellite positioning system receiver 202. The control unit 1〇8 can calculate the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the 201229444 99004TW1 36518twf.doc/n of each solar panel 1〇2 according to the positioning coordinates, date and current time received by the receiver 2〇2, so as to make each solar energy Panel 1〇2 achieves the best photoelectric conversion efficiency. It should be noted that in some embodiments, only a single global positioning system receiver 2〇2 may be used, which is disposed on one of the panels 102, and the other spatial panels are used to derive other The position of the solar panel 1〇2. 3 is a flow chart showing a method of chasing the date of the sun tracking system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the following method of summarizing the above-mentioned Japanese tracking system may include the following steps. First, the solar radiation energy is sensed (step S3〇2). Next, it is determined whether the solar radiation energy is greater than or equal to the critical radiation energy (step S304), wherein the critical radiation energy can be set, for example, to adjust the total energy required for the elevation angle and the azimuth of the solar panel, which can be adjusted according to the angle of the solar panel. The required energy consumption and the adjustment angle required to adjust each solar panel to the elevation angle and azimuth corresponding to the current time are calculated. When the solar light energy is greater than or equal to the critical radiant energy, the elevation angle and the azimuth angle of each solar panel are adjusted according to the reference data (step S306), wherein the reference data includes, for example, the position of each solar panel and the adjustment angle of each solar panel. Corresponding energy consumption. By calculating the elevation and azimuth of each solar panel based on the position, date, and current time of each solar panel, each solar panel can be turned to an angle with optimal photoelectric conversion efficiency.
