Solar tracker is a device that detects the movement of the sun. Solar tracker receive maximum sun ray in order to produce the maximum power supply by the photovoltaic (PV) panels system. It also depends on the environment factor such as solar irradiation and temperature of the panels. This paper presents the development of the automatic solar tracking system, the construction of the sensor circuit, programming of the control system and also its performance analysis. This automatic solar tracking system is designed with an electronic circuit control using PIC that can trigger the dc motors when the LDR sensors detect sunlight. DC motor will move vertical and 360 ̊ horizontal to increase efficiency of sunlight to the solar panel. Solar panel for the project gets power supply from the battery. The battery will be charged using power from the solar panel.

The renewable energies, solar energy is the only energy gained its popularity and importance quickly. Through the solar tracking system, we can produce an abundant amount of energy which makes the solar panel’s workability much more efficient. Perpendicular proportionality of the solar panel with the sun rays is the reason lying behind its efficiency. Pecuniary, its installation charge is high provided cheaper options are also available. The main control circuit is based upon NodeMcu microcontroller. Programming of this device is done in the manner that the LDR sensor, in accordance with the detection of the sun rays, will provide direction to the DC Motor that in which way the solar panel is going to revolve. Through this, the solar panel is positioned in such a manner that the maximum amount of sun rays could be received. Though a hike in the efficiency of the solar panel had a handsome increase still perfection was a far-fetched goal for it. Below 40%, most of the panels still hover to operate. Consequently, peoples are compelled to purchase a number of panels in order to meet their energy demands or purchase single systems with large outputs. Availability of the solar cells types with higher efficiencies is on provided they are too costly to purchase. Ways to be accessed for increasing solar panel efficiencies are a plethora in number still one of the ways to be availed for accomplishing the said purpose while reducing costs, is tracking. Tracking helps in the wider projection of the panel to the Sun with increased power output. It could be dual or single axis tracker

Abstract Nowadays, solar energy’s popularity is growing consistently every year, along with the growth of amazing solar technologies, which is considered to be one of the most popular. Non-renewable energy like petrol and gasoline is being replaced with solar energy, which is renewable energy. The main objective of this project is to design and simulate a robot solar system. The robot is developed using Arduino Mega 2560 as the main brain of the system. This system is equipped with a solar tracking system to track the movement of the sun and LDR is used to detect the presence of sunlight. The solar tracker is used to get the maximum efficiency of solar energy and reduce power losses. In addition, the solar tracker can rotate from 0° - 180°, which is the best angle for the solar panel to reach the sunlight. This robot will be attached to the sprinkler system to perform the watering process. This robot is developed for use in the agriculture field to reduce the manpower and cost of the watering process. Three analyses will be conducted in this project such as solar panel analysis, Wi-Fi connectivity analysis and sprinkler system analysis. The result shows the solar panel will gain the highest intensity of the sunlight at 12.00 pm and a sunny day compared to the other time and a cloudy day. The maximum range of Wi-Fi connectivity and the water pump, time used to finish the watering process and watering area will be discussed.
