The Single-Axis Solar Tracking and Solar Panel Monitoring System aims to maximize solar energy efficiency through dynamic positioning of the panel in accordance with sunlight intensity. The system utilizes an LDR sensor to monitor the position of the sun, which provides maximum solar exposure
through a servo motor-driven mechanism. The system also includes a DHT11 sensor for environmental temperature and humidity monitoring and a voltage sensor for monitoring the output voltage of the solar panel.The microcontroller-driven system constantly operates on sensor data, tilting the solar panel to
achieve optimal sunlight intake. The data read, including temperature, humidity, voltage levels, and solar tracking position, is shown on an LCD display for real-time observation. Additionally, the system includes IoT connectivity via the ThingSpeak cloud platform, allowing remote viewing of real-time and historical data.
The cloud-based storage and visualization of the monitored parameters in ThingSpeak enables users to monitor performance trends and maximize solar energy use. This system is highly useful for renewable energy systems, smart grid interfaces, and remote power systems with enhanced efficiency and
accessibility. Solar tracking and real-time monitoring integration guarantees higher energy output while also offering useful insights into environmental and operational conditions.This affordable and scalable solution is ideal for small-scale solar installations and can be scaled up for large-scale energy projects,
supporting sustainable energy management and minimizing reliance on non-renewable resources.
