Pada saat ini panel surya sudah banyak digunakan di wilayah Indonesia, telah banyak dimanfaatkan untuk menghasilkan energi listrik, yaitu dengan menggunakan panel surya yang dapat mengubah energi matahari menjadi energi listrik. Dalam hal ini kebanyakan solar cell yang terpasang kebanyakan bersifat statis atau diam, mengakibatkan penyerapan energi matahari oleh solar cell kurang optimal. Untuk mendapatkan energi matahari yang maksimal, maka posisi panel surya tersebut harus selalu tegak lurus terhadap arah datangnya sinar matahari. Pada penelitian ini telah dirancang sistem mekanis yang dapat menggerakkan posisi panel surya agar selalu mengikuti arah pergerakan matahari yang diberi nama solar tracking system. Solar tracking system yang dibuat merupakan prototype, solar tracker ini berfungsi untuk mengoptimalkan penerimaan energi matahari oleh solar cell. Sistem ini bekerja dengan adanya 2 buah sensor peka cahaya (LDR) yang membaca pergerakan matahari ditempatkan di beberapa sudut pada panel surya, lalu output LDR terhubung pada pin analog arduino, arduino akan mengolah data dari sensor LDR sehingga motor akan menggerakan solar cell ke kiri atau ke kanan sesuai perintah. Ada beberapa komponen yang digunakan pada perancangan solar tracking system ini yaitu acccu, solar charge controller, voltage regulator dan sebuah LCD. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan menggunakan metoda solar tracking system, maka total jumlah energi yang dihasilkan lebih besar dibandingkan panel surya statis.

Indonesia is a country traversed by the equator therefore get a high intensity of sunlight from morning to afternoon, it can be utilized by utilizing solar power to be converted into electrical energy, that is using solar panels. The performance of solar panels is strongly influenced by the intensity of sunlight. Therefore it is Necessary to design a tool in the form of solar tracker that can move the solar panels to the position of the solar panels can always follow the direction of the coming sun. Currently there is already doing research with solar tracker but limited to move only east and west course, this will be more optimal if solar tracker can follow sunshine from all direction. In this research we managed to modify the models of a solar tracker that can move in direction east, west, north and south following the sun.The conclusion of this research is Obtained with the use of solar tracking system 2 degrees of freedom can reach a power increase of 11% Compared to the solar tracking system 1 degree of freedom.   Keywords: Solar tracker 2 degrees of freedom, Solar cell.

Pertambahan jumlah penduduk dan juga kemajuan teknologi saat ini membuat kebutuhan masyarakat akan energi listrik saat ini semakin tinggi. Maka dari itu sangat diperlukan sumber energi alternatif, salah satunya yaitu dengan memanfaatkan energi matahari. Dengan menggunakan solar cell, energi matahari dapat dikonversi menjadi energi listrik. Namun, pemasangan solar cell saat ini masih bersifat konvensional (tidak mengikuti pergerakan matahari). Sehingga energi listrik yang dihasilkan tidak. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut maka penulis membuat solar tracker yang dirancang secara otomatis agar solar cell dapat mengikuti pergerakan matahari sehingga mampu menyerap cahaya matahari secara maksimal. Pergerakan solar tracker ditentukan berdasarkan Data posisi matahari selama setahun, dan menggunakan metode Pembacaan database dari sudut Azimuth dan sudut Elevation yang kemudian diproses oleh Arduino uno, dalam menentukan posisi aktuatornya. Kata Kunci :Solar cell, Arduino Uno, Database

The performance of solar photovoltaic systems can be improved if solar modules are kept perpendicular to the direction of solar radiation. Therefore, an accurate solar tracker system is important to continuously orientate solar modules to be always perpendicular to the solar radiation throughout the day. This paper presents the development and testing of a selfadjusting single-axis solar tracking system using two photovoltaic cells as photosensors. A prototype of the single-axis solar tracking system is built and tested based on continuous tracking method to the sun’s position throughout the day. An Arduino UNO microcontroller, a servo motor, and photovoltaic cells are selected as the components of the prototype. As this is an active tracking system, the orientation of the tracker receiver surface depends on the feedback received from the photosensors. Outdoor tests were carried out under clear skies at Kota Damansara, Malaysia (3.1467512 N, 101.5740615 E). The tracking inaccuracy is less than 5% with the maximum being 4.12%.

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.

Improving the efficiency of solar panels is the main task of solar energy generation. One of the methods is a solar tracking system. One of the most important parameters of tracking systems is a precise orientation to the Sun. In this paper, the performance of single-axis solar trackers based on schedule and light dependent resistor (LDR) photosensors, as well as a stationary photovoltaic installation in various weather conditions, were compared. A comparative analysis of the operation of a manufactured schedule solar tracker and an LDR solar tracker in different weather conditions was performed; in addition, a simple method for determining the rotation angle of a solar tracker based on the encoder was proposed. Finally, the performance of the manufactured solar trackers was calculated, taking into account various weather conditions for one year. The proposed single-axis solar tracker based on schedule showed better results in cloudy and rainy weather conditions. The obtained results can be used for designing solar trackers in areas with a variable climate.
