In this article we are going to make a sun tracking solar panel using arduino in which we will use two ldrs light dependent resistor to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light advantage of this project is that solar panel will always follow the sun light will always face towards the sun to get charge all the time and can.
Sun tracking solar panel using arduino ppt.
Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting.
Solar tracker one way to make the solar panel more effective is by adding the ability to track the sun as it moves across the sky.
Solar tracker is the best solution for receiving maximum radiation.
Introduction the aim is to design the system which will automatically track the sun s position and accordingly change the direction of the solar panel to get the maximum output from the solar cell.
Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform.
The earth receives 16 x 1018 units of energy from the sun annually which is 20 000 times the requirement of mankind on the earth.
A solar tracker is a device used for orienting a solar pv panel or lens towards the sun by using the light sensors interfaced to motors used for rotation through a microcontroller to have maximum solar radiation.
A single axis solar tracker improves solar output by around 25 and a dual axis tracker by around 40 according to this article on altestore.
In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.
Solar tracking system using arduino pratik pawar ashish yadav pritam makwana shubham patil abstract in this paper a solar tracking system using arduino is designed and built.
It searches for the brightest light source like the sun.
Along with this we are going to make a solar monitoring system using gsm and gps module.
Aim of the project.
By moving the solar panel according to the movement of sun we can always receive the maximum radiation.
When the stick on top is righted to the sun or the brightest point the four ldrs get the same amount of light on them.
The dual axis solar photovoltaic panel takes astronomical data as reference and the tracking system has the capability to always point the solar array toward the sun and can be installed in various regions with minor.
The aim of this solar tracker project is to keep the solar photovoltaic panel perpendicular to the sun throughout the year in order to make it more efficient.
This system collects free energy from the sun and stores it in the battery and then converts this energy to the respective alternating current.
Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board.
