Sun Tracking Solar Panel Using Arduino Ppt

Abstract our project sun tracking solar panel will include the design and construction of an arduino based solar panel tracking system.

Sun tracking solar panel using arduino ppt.

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. But still if you are unable to design projects on your own that may be due to the lack of components or some other issues. This video shows the demonstration of rotating solar panel using arduino. 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.

This system collects free energy from the sun and stores it in the battery and then converts this energy to the respective alternating current. 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 source of the light. Single axis solar tracking system moves the solar panel from east to west in a day to point in the direction of the sun. Solar energy is rapidly gaining popularity as an important means of expanding renewable energy resources.

One of them is the single axis solar tracker and the other is dual axis. Now place the set up of solar panel and first servo motor to the metal strip of second servo motor as shown. It consists of only this components ldr module l293d motor driver module dc motor 30 rpm solar panel. It searches for the brightest light source like the sun.

Use an arduino two small servo motors with light sensing photo resistors to steer a solar panel towards the sun. Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform. There are basically two types of arduino sun trackers. Pratik pawar ashish yadav pritam makwana shubham patil.

If you are the one who loves to craft inspiring projects then arduino solar tracker is for you. Its makes the energy usable in normal homes as an independent power source. 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. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun.

By moving the solar panel according to the movement of sun we can always receive the maximum radiation. 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 provide the supply the maximum power. Abstract in this paper a solar tracking system using arduino is designed and built.
