As the energy demand and environmental problems increase, as have conventional energy sources, natural energy sources have become very important as an alternative. The renewable energy sector is fast gaining ground as a new growth area for numerous countries, and it presents vast potential both environmentally and economically. Solar energy is vital as a primary energy source, especially for rural areas. This project aims to develop a process to track the sun and attain maximum efficiency using Arduino Uno and LDR Sensors for real-time monitoring. The project is divided into two stages: hardware and softwaredevelopment. In hardware development, four light-dependent resistors (LDR) have been used to capture the maximum light source. Two servo motors have moved the solar panel to face the maximum light source through sensing by LDR. The system's performance has been tested and compared with static solar panels.This project describes the design of a low-cost solar tracking system developed to generate more energy from the sun.
In this project, a dual-axis solar tracking system is developed. In thisproject, an Arduino Uno has been used as the central controlling unit. The sun's position in the sky is detected with four LDRs to rotate the orientation of the PV panel using two servo motors. The sensors and servo motors have properly been interfaced. The servo motor has been mechanically coupled with the PV panel. The whole system has been assembled, and its performance has been tested. This tracker successfully changes the solar panel's direction based on the direction of the sun facing the panel. A dual-axis solar tracker tracks the sun daily, making the solar panel more efficient
