This paper presents a modular and scalable approach to concentrated solar power (CSP) harvesting by using low-profile, light-weight, sun-tracking, millimeter-to-centimeter-scale mirror arrays that can be wirelessly controlled to reflect the incident solar energy to a central receiver. Conventional, utility-scale CSP plants use large-area heliostats, parabolic troughs, or dish collectors that are not only heavy and bulky, but also require significant labor for installation and maintenance infrastructure. Furthermore, form-factors of current heliostats are not compatible with low-profile roof-mountable systems, as seen by the dominance of the conventional Photovoltaic systems for roof-top installations. Solar TILE (STILE) technology to be presented in this work enables concentrated solar power harvesting on a given surface with form factor and weight per unit area comparable to those of ceramic tiles used on walls/floors or that of Photovoltaic modules. Self-powered operation by integrated solar cells, elimination of wiring for power transfer, wireless control, and weather-proof enclosure of moving parts help STILE technology promise lower installation and maintenance costs than PV approaches, while enabling novel beam-redirection applications over large surfaces. As the STILEs are made of mostly plastic, which costs at least an order of magnitude less than solar grade silicon, associated material costs could potentially be much cheaper than silicon PV cells. After a description of the STILE technology and a discussion of mirror scaling, we present a prototype tile with dimensions 33 × 33 × 6.4 cm3 and detail its wireless operation.

electronic instruments and many other instruments which mostly depends on power. So the harvesting of power becomes necessary. In order to leave required amount of power to the next generation, we should harvest the power what we have now. In this project we used four modules for harvesting power. Extracting maximum power from a solar power harvester with minimum power transfer loss is the primary goal of this project. The proposed system demonstrates that we can track maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under rapidly changing atmospheric condition. Instead of photovoltaic cell, the solar cells are used for harvesting power. There are totally four modules used and these modules are controlled using a main board. The each power harvesting module consists of wireless transmitters which is controlled by IOT webpage. Also each power harvesting modules consists of wireless transmitter. These transmitters are used to transmit the power to the receiver through wireless networks. All these nodes are controlled using main board. This control board can be user configurable. The smart WSN controlled power harvesting system is also established here.
