Abstract |
|
This paper presents the design and implementation of a dual-axis solar tracking system using an Arduino microcontroller. The system uses four light dependent resistors (LDRs) to sense the intensity of sunlight and two servo motors to orient the solar panel toward the direction of maximum illumination. The main objective of this project is to improve the efficiency of solar energy collection by continuously aligning the panel perpendicular to the sun's rays throughout the day. The system operates automatically using a 9 V power supply and does not require manual intervention. The proposed model is simple, low cost, and suitable for small-scale renewable energy applications where improved solar panel output is required. |
