Solar Tracking System For Agricultural Research.

When we decide to reclaim a land for agriculture, and it is planned to rely on solar energy to irrigate crops, we must first determine the availability of the following resources:

1. Electricity generated per square meter of solar panels.

2. Light intensity, which affects the plant in terms of:

• Formation and maturity of flowers.

• The strength and elongation of stems and leaves, thus choosing the appropriate type of crop.

• Influencing the process of evaporation and transpiration, and thus determining the water needs per square meter.

Here comes the idea of ​​the project, where researchers can use it to get enough information about the intensity of lighting and the amount of electrical energy that can be used to utilize the maximum amount of sun's rays, as the electrical energy generated by the solar panels reaches its maximum when the sun’s rays are perpendicular to it.

I care about this idea because I believe that we have to start to minimize our use of nonrenewable energy sources which are limited and cause a lot of pollution.

The main idea of the project is to automatically move according to the sun position using light sensors like Light Detecting Resistors( LDR), Ambient light sensors, etc. When the sun rays start to move the sensor will send a signal through the control circuit to start the motor to move the solar panel according to the movement of the sun.
