Abstract

Solar panel have been widely used within the recent years in converting the solar energy into electrical energy. Nowadays,peoples are trying to utilize more energy from the sun using solar panel.So as to maximize the conversion from solar to electrical energy,the solar panel should always be position perpendicular to the sun. The main goal of this project is to design a solar tracking system which can track the position of the sun and monitor the performance of solar panel.The method used in the system was planned in a block diagram and flowchart.This method will ensure the solar panel always track the movement of the sun in order to produce the maximum energy output.In this project,the solar tracker is able to move 30 degrees each and total movement that this system can do is 150 degrees.The system consists of Arduino Uno,Wi-Fi module,servo motor,Light Dependent Resistor(LDR) as a sensor and a solar panel.The monitoring process will be display is reading of voltage, current and power in Blynk and ThingSpeak.This helps the user to analysis the energy usage from anywhere over the internet.Analysis impacts on the renewable energy usage and electricity issues also can be observe through ThingSpeak.This system is an advance technology which is able to give a good impact to every user that is concern about the performance of the solar panel.
