Dual Axis Solar Tracking System with Weather Sensor

Project Code :TEMBMA3097

Objective

The main objective of this project is to design a very precise solar tracker which moves along two axes, where in all four directions four LDRs are placed.

Abstract

Abstract:

Solar power is the fastest growing means of renewable energy. The project is designed and implemented using simple dual axis solar tracker system. In order to maximize energy generation from sun, it is necessary to introduce solar tracking systems into solar power systems. A dual-axis tracker can increase energy by tracking sun rays from switching solar panel in various directions. This solar panel can rotate in all directions. This dual axis solar tracker project can also be used to sense weather, and it will be displayed on LCD. This system is powered by Arduino, consists of DC motor, Motor Driver Board, rain drop sensor, temperature and humidity sensor and LCD.
