Auto Solar Tracker for Harnessing Maximum Solar Energy

Abstract: Solar Tracker is a device designed to optimize the efficiency of solar energy systems by continuously orienting solar panels to track the movement of the sun. The demand for renewable energy sources, particularly solar power, has been growing rapidly in recent years. To maximize the efficiency of solar panels, solar tracking systems have gained significant attention. The work includes the design, development, and implementation of a single-axis solar tracker. The proposed system utilizes two Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs), a servomotor, and an Arduino microcontroller to precisely align the solar panel with the sun's position throughout the day. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed solar tracker in enhancing the power generation efficiency
