The transfer of electrical energy sources from non-renewable fossil fuels to alternative renewable fuels can be made by utilizing solar energy. The working system of arduino uno solar tracking system for STMIK AUB garden lights is by capturing solar energy through solar panels which are then stored inside the battery where the charging process is controlled by solar charge controller. LDR functions to receive and identify the radiated light quantities which are then forwarded into the arduino uno and processed to drive the DC motor that has become one with the solar panel. If the day begins to darken the LDR will inform the arduino uno and then it will be processed by arduino uno to turn on the DC light.

The paper outlines an application of smart solar “photovoltaic” power generation. Solar panels are typically in fixed position. They're limited in their energy-generating ability because they cannot consistently take full advantage of maximum sunlight. For more effective solar energy system, the solar panel should be able to align with sunlight as it changes during a given day. The present paper examines the design advantages of creating an intelligent solar tracking system like a helianthus flower using microcontroller based embedded system.

Low Sensitivity

<p>Electricity is a major source of energy for fast growing population and the use of nonrenewable source is harmful for our environment. This reason belongs to devastating of environment, so it is required to take immediate action to solve these problems which result the solar energy development. Production of a solar energy can be maximizing if we use solar follower. The major part of solar panels is microcontroller with arrangement of LDR sensor is used to follow the sun, where the sensors is less efficient to track the sun because of the low sensitivity of LDR. We are proposing a method to track sun more effetely with the help of both LDR sensors and image processing. This type of mechanism can track sun with the help of image processing software which combines both result of sensors and processed sun image to control the solar panel. The combination of both software and hardware can control thousands of solar panels in solar power plants.</p>

The Cost

This project aims to develop dual axis solar tracker with IOT monitoring system using Arduino. Generally, solar energy is the technology to get useful energy from sunlight. Solar energy has been used in many traditional technologies over the centuries and has been widely used in the absence of other energy supplies. Its usefulness is widespread when awareness of the cost of the environment and the supply is limited by other energy sources such as fuel. The solar tracking system is the most effective technology to improve the efficiency of solar panels by tracking and following the sun's movement. With the help of this system, solar panels can improve the way of sunlight detection so that more electricity can be collected as solar panels can maintain a sunny position. Thus the project discusses the development of two-axis solar-tracking developers using Arduino Uno as main controller the system. For develops this project, four light-dependent resistors (LDRs) have been used for sunlight detection and a maximum light intensity. Two servo motors have been used to rotate the solar panel according to the sun's light source detected by the LDR. Next a WIFI ESP8266 device is used as an intermediary between device and IOT monitoring system. The IOT monitoring system is a website that functions to store data. The efficiency of this system has been tested and compared with a single axial solar tracker. As a result, the two-axis solar tracking system generates more power, voltage and current.

Important Means

Photovoltaic solar technology may be a multi-billion dollar clean, green and renewable energy industry, powering everything from road signs to entire cities. Solar cells themselves are essentially big PN-junction semiconductors, there’s plenty of advanced and rapidly evolving electronic engineering required to optimize the energy transfer from the roof top to the grid. This course covers the Fundamentals of grid-connected PV systems, with the aim of providing engineers with an honest overview of the technologies, topologies and electronics that structure such systems. Solar energy is extremely important means of expanding renewable energy resources. Solar may be a nonconventional source of energy, considering this we've developed solar panels in order that we will fulfil our electricity need. The problem above are often solved by our system by automatic tracking the solar power. The system architecture contains a LDR sensor senses max solar power. It is being given to the Microcontroller through the ADC. In which digitizes the LDR output. The Motor is employed to rotate the LDR to sense the max solar energy. A Solar Tracker is essentially a tool on to which solar panels are fitted which tracks the motion of the sun across the sky ensuring that the utmost amount of sunlight strikes the panels throughout the day. After finding the daylight, the tracker will attempt to navigate through the trail ensuring the simplest sunlight is detected. The objective is to development of an automatic solar tracking system whereby the system will caused solar panels. It will keep aligned with the daylight in order to maximize in harvesting solar power.

This research optimizes the absorption of solar energy in solar panels by designing mechanical systems that can move solar panels in the direction of incoming sunlight. Light-sensitive sensors are used to track the sun. The solar tracking system is designed using two axes, namely rotation axis and the tilt axis. Both axes are driven by servo motors based on light-sensitive sensors. The system was developed using an ATmega328 microcontroller unit. The test results found that using solar tracking the amount of energy produced was greater than static solar panels. Radiation generated between solar tracking and static sun can increase by 55.2%.
