The optimum tilted angle calculation is based on solar noon in which from the equation, a software has been developed for tilted angle calculation, namely Solar Noon Locator UPM. The developed GUI is shown in the Figure 1. The user need to input the date, location and GMT data then software will calculate the optimum tilted angle. Figure 2 shows the mechanical drawing of the structure for holding the solar module and moving the optimum tilt angle toward solar noon. The designed four wings can easily be pulled out to harvest solar energy and push in to minimize its size during delivery or storage. The tilted mechanism assisted by 2 unit of linear actuator remove the necessary of human effort to adjust the optimum tilt angle and automated by a processor based on Arduino platform.
