Design And Construction of A Double Axis 360 Degree Sun Position Solar Tracking with Automatic Irrigation

Abstract

Of all the renewable energies, solar energy is the only energy gained its popularity and importance quickly. Perpendicular proportionality of the solar panel with the sun rays is the reason lying behind its efficiency. This project is discussed all about the design and construction mechanism of the prototype for the solar tracking system having a double axis of freedom. The main control circuit is based upon Arduino Nano micro-controller. Programming of this device is done in the manner that the LDR sensor, in accordance with the detection of the sun rays, will provide direction to the servo motor that in which way the solar panel is going to revolve. Through this, the solar panel is positioned in such a manner that the maximum amount of sun rays could be received. Tracking helps in the wider projection of the panel to the Sun with increased power output.
