MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010560 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 31, for 'smart dual-axis solar tracking system.'
Inventor(s) include Shubham Tendulkar; Satvik Bhargava; Jalaj Jaiswal; Neeraj Mishra; Dr. Anirban Sur; and Dr. Amit Kukker.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a smart dual-axis solar tracking system that increases photovoltaic power generation efficiency through predictive sun-tracking and torque-balanced mechanical design. A photovoltaic panel is mounted on a dual-axis rotational frame driven by an azimuth motor and an elevation actuator, while a counterweight assembly reduces actuator torque demand. A sensor array continuously monitors solar irradiance, angular position, and wind speed. A smart controller executes an energy-gain optimization algorithm to determine whether tracking movement yields positive net power benefit, thereby minimizing unnecessary motion under diffused sunlight. The controller initiates autonomous self-recovery alignment during low-light startup and triggers a wind-protection horizontal stow posture under hazardous wind conditions. An IoT communication module enables remote monitoring, analytics, and predictive maintenance alerts. The invention offers improved energy efficiency, durability, safety, and reliability for rooftop and rural solar deployments."
