Abstract

"Automated Positioning System of Solar Panel Base for Optimized Solar Energy Absorption" is a device created to follow sun movement accordingly across the sky throughout the day. The design concept is to detect sunlight throughout the day for the sunlight rays to hit directly onto the solar panel with maximum exposure. When the panel has less sun exposure area, the motor will move the base to the direction of maximum sun exposure area. The system will be on standby mode to conserve power usage if the sun does not appear. The microcontroller used is PIC16F84A and is treated as the main component to maneuver the system. The software design implemented the comparison of the sensors and tilt the base with motors directly to maximum sun exposure area.
