Abstract

Renewable energy, sometimes known as "Green Energy," is a fast-growing source of energy in the worldwide because our nation is situated on the equator, a solar power system is a viable alternative for our country's residents. In addition, this technique is a best efficient method of generating solar power from the sun. The solar panels that are often utilised in Malaysia are movable because the sun's position varies over time-the solar panel's efficiency must be adjusted to ensure that it receives sufficient sunlight to generate minimal energy. As a result, the goal of this project is to make improvements to the current solar panel setup. In the final prototype device, solar panels may be moved around based on the amount of light they get. For the purpose of moving the solar panels, two servo motors and an Arduino are employed. Sensor photoresistor is used to determine the sun's location. It is the major goal of this project to build a 'Solar Tracking System using Arduino'. For optimal power output, this mechanism will help position parallel solar panels into direct sunlight. Data from solar panel voltage generation also be gathered by the system. We will be able to see how solar panels fluctuate over time and come up with strategies to improve solar panel energy efficiency.
