 AUTOMATIC SOLAR PANEL WITH HOME AUTOMATION

PROJECT OBJECTIVE / ABSTRACT:

Solar energy is the only renewable energy that has gained popularity and importance quickly. We can generate
a large amount of energy using the solar tracking system, which increases the efficiency of the solar panels.
The efficiency of the solar panel is due to its perpendicular proportionality with the sun rays. This device is
programmed in such a way that the LDR sensor, in response to the detection of sun rays, directs the DC Motor
in which direction the solar panel will revolve.
In this day of fast advancing technology, one of the most popular automations is home automation. When
household appliances are monitored and controlled, the process is exciting via machinery. We want to design
our project using the IoT concept to make human lives reliable. The IoT has the potential to make things too
simple. This project's primary objective is to automate employing sustainable and renewable energy sources,
more affordable ruler homes

The major goal of this project is to use solar energy to produce electrical energy, which will then be used for
IoT-based home automation. The goal of this project is to completely automate a home using renewable energy
sources. As more home appliances are used, home areas grow larger. To address this issue with household
energy. We have considered energy conservation as well as renewable energy sources. While doing so, we also
need to reduce energy costs at home. Two factors must be taken into account for this, and they are both energy
production and consumption. Additionally, we'll use the IoT notion by use a NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi
module.

*KEYWORDS:
Solar, Renewable Energy, Sustainable, NodeMCU, Home Automation, IoT, Smart Home, Wi-Fi.

*METHODOLOGY:

The construction of the aforementioned project is made of a wooden base that is anchored to the ground and
secured with iron rods on both sides in a cross-shaped manner. The iron rods are connected with a hollow
cylindrical rod from both sides, and a DC motor is attached to one edge of the hollow rod.

The solar tracking system's circuit is separated into three portions. Two LDR modules are used in the input
stage to create a voltage divider circuit. The microcontroller is programmed using the Arduino IDE software,
which is installed in the system. Finally, the drive circuit, which includes a DC motor, rotates the solar panel.

*MOTIVATION / SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:

Looking at the current situation, it is clear that traditional energy sources like coal, natural gas, oil, etc. are on
the verge of extinction. Because we are in a constant struggle with time itself to meet all of our energy needs,
demand for these resources has reached an all-time high. The environment is being damaged by traditional
energy use because fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are used. Therefore, the current project is designed
using parts like LDR modules, DC motors, photovoltaic arrays, etc. that, while working, would not produce
any pollutants and instead serve as a storage facility for energy obtained from the Sun, in contrast to other uses
of conventional energies.

*DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

Therefore, the current project is designed with elements like LDR modules, DC motors, photovoltaic arrays,
etc. that, while working, would not create any pollution and instead act as a reservoir of energy drawn from the
Sun itself, in contrast to other uses of conventional energies. No other energy is more abundant than solar
energy in terms of availability and freedom, usage, along with the rest of the fact that it is converted into
electrical energy.
