Design and Implementation of Approach Can Track Sunlight using Arduino-uno

Abstract

The aims of this work are how to develop approach can track the light of sun using Arduino type uno to achieve the maximum efficiency. The project is divided into two stages: they are hardware and software maturity. In hardware development there are four sensors work as a light dependent resistor (LDR), which has been used for capturing the deliver maximum intensity of light. Two DC motors have been used (one for vertical motions other for horizontal motions) to move the solar panel at maximum light source location sensing by LDR. The results show that the designed system of tracking light has a low cost with efficient solar energy system. Enlargement the system has been simulated by MATLAB to demonstrate the performance of the system has superior performance compared with static solar panel.
