Abstract

As we can see now, the earth becomes hot effect of the global warming. Here we can take an advantage from the effect of the global warming. We can use solar energy as an electrical energy to operate an electrical appliance. The problem that we can see now is most of the solar panel that had been use by a user just only in a static direction. If the solar panel located at east and the sun is located at west, the solar panel cannot be charging. So, the project that wants to develop here is called “Design Solar Tracking System to move independently in X and Y axis to Maximize Energy”. Solar tracking system is the project that used Arduino Uno microcontroller as a brain to control the whole system. The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) had been used to sense the intensity of light at different angle and sent the data to the microcontroller. This microcontroller will compare the data and rotate a stepper motor to the right direction. The stepper motor will rotate the solar panel based on the highest intensity of light.
