Microcontroller based Automatic Sun Tracking Solar Panel

Abstract

The solar industry is a worth billions of dollars industry. This produces 20 GW of power, which is insufficient for processing. Every day, the Sun brightens the globe by irradiating a massive amount of energy, the bulk which one is lost or not utilized as a result of improper solar panel installation the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy is significantly higher when the solar panel is constantly placed 90 degrees to the sun. To build an automatic solar panel using ATMega328 controller, we'll use two Light sensors (Light dependent resistors) to detect light and a servo motor to spin the solar panel in the position of the sun rays. The benefit of this concept is that the solar panel will constantly track light from the sun and will regularly charge when facing the sun, and offer the maximum amount of power.
