Abstract

This report presents the analysis of Dual-Axis solar tracking system using Arduino Uno.The main objective of this project was to investigate the difference between Single-Axis solar tracker and Dual-Axis solar tracker to determine which is efficiency and reliable.For hardware development, five light dependent resistors (LDR) was used to obtain maximum solar light.Two servo motors was used to actuate the solar panel to get maximum solar light exposing location which was detected by the LDR.As for the software part,the code was built by using C++ programming language and was used to Arduino UNO controller.The performance of the solar tracker was analyzed and compared with the Single-Axis solar tracker and the result showed that the Dual-Axis solar tracker is better than the Single-Axis solar tracker in terms of average voltage,current,power temperature and solar light intensity (illumination).Therefore,the Dual-Axis solar tracker is proven more effective for capturing the maximum sunlight intensity for harvesting process.
