Sun Tracking Solar Panel Using Arduino Ppt

Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting.

Sun tracking solar panel using arduino ppt.

This system collects free energy from the sun and stores it in the battery and then converts this energy to the respective alternating current. 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. 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. By moving the solar panel according to the movement of sun we can always receive the maximum radiation.

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. 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. It searches for the brightest light source like the sun. 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 solar tracker control system is designed to take light measurements from the east and west left and right side of the solar panel and determine which way to move the panel to point it directly at. 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 earth receives 16 x 1018 units of energy from the sun annually which is 20 000 times the requirement of mankind on the earth. Solar tracker is the best solution for receiving maximum radiation.

Aim of the project. It consists of only this components ldr module l293d motor driver module dc motor 30 rpm solar panel. Use an arduino two small servo motors with light sensing photo resistors to steer a solar panel towards the sun. Along with this we are going to make a solar monitoring system using gsm and gps module.

Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board.
