Sun Tracking Solar Panel Using Arduino Abstract

Solar tracking system using arduino pratik pawar ashish yadav pritam makwana shubham patil abstract in this paper a solar tracking system using arduino is designed and built.

Sun tracking solar panel using arduino abstract.

This project orients the solar panel toward the sun so that it can utilize with higher accuracy. This system collects free energy from the sun and stores it in the battery and then converts this energy to the respective alternating current. Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. Use an arduino two small servo motors with light sensing photo resistors to steer a solar panel towards the sun.

Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform. Show full abstract from sun s energy but the optimum energy can be generated by tracking solar panel due to the sun movement from east to west. When the stick on top is righted to the sun or the brightest point the four ldrs get the same amount of light on them. The solar tracker can be controlled automatically with the help of lightdependent resistor ldr sensors or manually using a potentiometer.

In this article we are going to make a sun tracking solar panel using arduino in which we will use two ldrs light dependent resistor to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light advantage of this project is that solar panel will always follow the sun light will always face towards the sun to get charge all the time and can. It searches for the brightest light source like the sun. Sun tracking solar panel using arduino project is based on arduino controller board which controls the various activities of the project. A solar panel is used to harness solar energy.

The tracking system will move the solar panel so that it is positioned perpendicular to the sun for maximum energy conversion at all time. The problem can be solved by proposed systems. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board. Photoresistors will be used as sensors in this system.

Also since a panel which is incident to the sun can gather more amount of solar energy the solar panel is attached to a motor. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. The system will consist of light sensing system microcontroller gear motor system and a solar panel. It consists of only this components ldr module l293d motor driver module dc motor 30 rpm solar panel.
