Micro chip controlled dual axis solar tracking system
Maximizing renewable energy from sun
Maximizing renewable energy from sun
As we all know sun is the major source of energy, and with the idea of making use of maximum output from from the sun, our group have created dual axis solar tracking device. The system itself aligns the mounted solar panel accordingly where it can focus on maximum sunlight.
We have built an Arduino based system with light detecting sensors and servo motors. In our project we have also included a display where it shows voltage available from the light.
Working procedure
•The working of the project includes hardware and software design and implementation.
•LDRs detect the maximum light source and give information to the micro controller.
•The information is processed and send to the servo motor, which align the solar cell accordingly.
•A 16 by 2 led display is used to display the voltage output.
- Idea and Planning
Developing an idea to start working for a project was the challenging part for us.
After we came up with the idea of a solar tracker, we made a plan to make it simple and accountable for everyone.
2. making a Prototype
2. making a Prototype
We already had an initial idea of how the design should be. Because our system always aligns the solar panel with the help of only two motors.
We did 3D print the part which was developed with the help of solid work software.
Software Development
Software Development
As our project used Arduino, the software development was all based on Arduino too.
The program was simply getting values from light sensors and giving commands to servo motors.
Final Outcome
Final Outcome
We were so happy and excited to get our prototype well done, having everything working as we indented.
