Design and Construction of an Automatic Solar Tracking System

Abstract

The global energy problem is now the top priority. The use of traditional energy sources is not only problematic due to their scarcity, but also because they are a major contributor to pollution. The globe is increasingly investing in renewable energy sources as a means of decreasing its reliance on traditional ones. Solar power is quickly becoming a hot topic as a viable option for increasing the usage of renewable energy sources. The solar cells used to generate electricity from sunlight are expensive and inefficient at their job. In order to decrease the price of solar panels, several processes are used to boost their efficiency. The most effective way to increase solar cell efficiency is using a solar tracking system. In this research, we offer a technique for designing an autonomous solar tracker that uses a microcontroller. Sensors in the solar tracker are light-dependent resistors. The three distinct modes of operation will be accessible via the planned tracker's precision control mechanism. of demonstrate the approach of design provided here, a miniature solar tracking system prototype is built
