Project Summary

The designed project aims at tracking the sun to achieve the maximum sun light incident on the solar panel during anytime of the day. The project is useful during cloudy days. The system requires a solar panel coupled with a stepping motor to keep tracking the sun and moving according to the maximum sun light received. A microcontroller of 8051 family is used that generates stepped pulses periodically to rotate the panel through stepper motor. The power to the motor is provided by an interfacing IC. And out put will be shown on smart phone. Use of solar panel to convert sun’s energy to electrical is very popular, but due to transition of the Sun from east to west the fixed solar panel may be able to generate optimum energy. The proposed system solves the problem by an arrangement for the solar panel to track the Sun.

This tracking movement is achieved by coupling a stepper motor to the solar panel such that the panel maintains its face always perpendicular to the Sun to generate maximum energy. This is achieved by using a programmed microcontroller to deliver stepped pulses in periodical time intervals for the stepper motor to rotate the mounted panel as desired. The project is provided with a dummy solar panel which can be used for demonstration purpose only.
