Introduction:
Solar energy is an unlimited source of energy which if harnessed properly will get the mankind
devoid of using the conventional sources of energy he has been long using. This project has
been designed keeping this in view to make the harnessing of solar energy more efficient. 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. 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. This motor is electrically connected to the controller board.
The system periodically checks the availability of solar energy from one horizon to other
horizon periodically. In the scan it checks which direction has maximum incident solar energy
and hence the incident sun and positions the solar panel in that direction. In this way
maximum power that can be harnessed with the solar panel is harnessed by then system.
Literature Survey:
Objective:
• It increases amount of solar energy which is received by the solar energy
collector.
• Improves the energy output of the electricity which is generated .
Block Diagram:
Components:
• Arduino Uno
• SG 90 180 degree servo motor
• Power supply for arduino
• LDR
• Connecting wires
• Solar panel
• Resistor
Methodology:
Applications:
1. For domestic backup power systems.
2. For power generation at remote places where power lines are not accessible.
3. These can be used in home to power the appliances
