Solar Panel Position Control and Monitoring System For Maximum Power Generation

The research on power generation renewable energy sources are increasing In this paper the proposing automatic position control system of solar panel is introduced as the position of sun is changing through out the day, in order to maximize the generation I.e, maximizing the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy. The solar panel has to be faced towards the sun in order to get maximum solar energy. The LDR (light dependent resistors) is used as the sensor to detect the intensity of sunlight. And the main heart of this project is arduino Uno, where all the processing is done to know the position of the sun. Servo motor is used to move the solar panel based on signal received from arduino. This system is eco-friendly and is operating at low-cost. Finally the result will show the effectiveness of this system when compared to regular solar system.
