In this paper thedesign methodology of a microcontroller based simple and easily programmed automaticsolar tracker is presented.
Four ldrs and four 100kω resistors are connected in a voltage divider fashion and the output is given to 4 analog input pins of arduino.
Design of the solar tracker from this project is also a reference and a starting point for the development of more advanced systems in the future.
Solar tracking enables more energy to be generated because the solar panel is always able to maintain a perpendicular profile to the sun s rays.
The pwm inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of arduino.
The solar tracker comprises comparator ic lm339 h bridge motor driver ic l293d ic2 and a few discrete components.
Development of solar panel tracking systems has been ongoing for several years now.
Commonly used the solar automatic tracking control system to maximize the system get more solar energy and.
At the end of the project a functional solar tracking system was designed and implemented.
Automatic solar tracking system 1.
A small prototype of solar tracking system isalso constructed to implement the design methodology presented here.
In this article we are going to make a sun tracking solar panel using arduino in which we will use two ldrs light dependent resistor to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light advantage of this project is that solar panel will always follow the sun light will always face towards the sun to get charge all the time and can.
Circuit of solar tracking system.
Above can be solved by our system by automatic tracking the solar energy.
Block diagram of the system.
The block diagram below shows system architecture it consist of a ldr sensor senses max solar power which is being given to the microcontroller through the adc which digitizes the ldr output.
It was able to keep the solar panel aligned with the sun or any light source repetitively.
Aim of the project 3.
Block diagram of microcontroller and associated circuitry is shown in figure 2.
The circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully.
Region automatic trac king control.
This project deals with a rtc based solar panel tracking system.
Solar tracking system circuit fig.
All the works of solar tracking system performed up to these days are based on almost the same theory of position sensing.
Controller then takes the decision according.
