Grid-Tie Rotating Solar Rooftop System Using Atmega

Abstract

This paper presents a grid-tie rotating solar rooftop system solar power project which is powered by using Atmega 328 microcontroller. It includes solar panel, LCD display, and battery charging circuit and an inverter circuit with sun tracking capability. This project represents whether a particular industrial or residential load would be powered by the photovoltaic panel or the company. This project is based on Atmega 328 micro-controller which controls the solar array by rotating it consistently with the position of sun. This energy obtained from the solar array is then stored in battery which is then sent back to power the domestic or industrial area. The remaining energy is then reverted to the power house through the gird-tie system. Hence with the assistance of this project, power usage can be reduced by the renewable source of energy and profit can be earned with the help of the power which is fed back to the grid.
