A Dual-Axis Sun Tracking Solar Panel Controlling by Arduino
摘要
Solar energy is fast becoming an essential means of renewable energy resources. In recent decades, the primary sources of energy, such as oil and coal, are expected to end up in the world. This is a severe problem for providing the world with the most affordable and reliable energy source. All the people in the world need renewable energy resources, which are inexhaustible. With sun tracking, generating more energy will be possible since the solar panel can maintain a perpendicular profile to the sun’s rays. Even though the initial cost of setting up the tracking system is considerably high, cheaper options have been proposed over time. In this proposed work, a dual-axis sun tracker by which it is possible to conserve full power by the solar panel by receiving the high-intensity sunlight using an Arduino board and light-dependent resistors (LDRs) have been used for sunlight detection.
