We Are Making A Solar Panel Sun Tracking System by Which The Renewable Solar Energy Can Be Efficiently Used To Its Maximum

This document describes a solar panel sun tracking system that can efficiently use solar energy by positioning solar panels to face the sun. It consists of two light dependent resistors, a solar panel, servo motor, and microcontroller. The LDRs detect light intensity and the servo motor rotates the panel towards the LDR receiving higher intensity, allowing the panel to track the sun for maximum energy absorption. This system could be used in industries, homes, and institutions to power appliances and save energy by optimizing solar panel positioning. Key aspects that need to work properly are the sunlight, motor function, microcontroller, and LDRs.

INTRODUCTION
We are making a solar panel sun tracking system by which the renewable
solar energy can be efficiently used to its maximum.
In present times, there is over-usage of renewable energy resources due to
which the resources are being used up by an alarming rate. For such a serious
concern we must shift ourselves onto the renewable energy resources and
the most common among of them all is solar energy. This energy source is
widely used in present times but the main disadvantage in it is that the
position of the Sun with respect to the solar panel is not fixed due to the
rotation of the Earth. For an efficient usage of the solar energy, the Solar
panels should absorb energy to a maximum extent. In this project, we will
make a simple Sun Tracking Solar Panel circuit which will track the Sun and
position the solar panels accordingly.
WORKING TECHNOLOGY-

• The Sun tracking solar panel consists of two LDRs, solar panel and a servo
motor and a Micro controller.
• Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel.
Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them.
The servo motor connected to the panel rotates the panel in the direction
of Sun. Panel is arranged in such a way that light on two LDRs is compared
and panel is rotated towards LDR which have high intensity i.e. low
resistance compared to other. Servo motor rotates the panel at certain
angle.
• When the intensity of the light falling on right LDR is more, panel slowly
moves towards right and if intensity on the left LDR is more, panel slowly
moves towards left. In the noon time, Sun is ahead and intensity of light on
both the panels is same. In such cases, panel is constant and there is no
rotation.
In industries as
more energy can
Traffic lights and be saved by
streetlights rotating the
panel.
