Sun Tracking Solar Panel

Abstract

Recent years have a denoted a major increase in technological advances. This report presents the ‘sun tracking solar panel’ using Aurdino Uno. The system we are proposing requires less hardware than the systems presented earlier. We tend to use 2 solar panels of 6v each, LDR sensor, battery and a stepper motor. Stepper motor helps in tracking the axis of the sun and keeps the panel in direction of the sun all day long. The 2 solar panels of 6v each are used which rotate along the direction of sun with the help of stepper motor which is using initial code information we provided in Arduino Uno to activate the LDR sensors used, thus these LDR sensors give system the information about the best possible movement to be made in order to charge the solar panels. The designed system increases the energy generation efficiency of the solar cells.
