Solar Panel Controlling and Tracking System (A smart tracker and controller to charge automatically solar system)
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryThe aim of this research is to make a solar power generation and storing system by using automatic control system. Solar panel has been used increasingly in recent years to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The solar panel can be used either as a standalone system or as a large solar system that is connected to the electricity grids.
Every second, the sun sends about 42 trillion kilocalories of energy to the Earth. If we could convert 100% of this solar energy into electricity, we could create one year’s worth of power for the entire planet in a single hour. Solar energy is the most powerful of all renewable energy resources. Solar power emits no carbon dioxide, it is an effective solution to natural resource depletion and climate change — problems that are becoming more serious every year. In order to maximize the conversion from solar to electrical energy, the solar panels have to be positioning of the solar panel are important. The goal of this project is to design an automatic tracking system and automatic cut off and on system, the tracking system can locate position of the sun. the tracking system will move the solar panel so that it is positioned perpendicular to the sun for maximum energy output conversion at all time and the automatic cut off and on system makes it more efficient when the charging or storing device is full the solar system will be cut off the storing device and when the storing device needs to be charge or store the system will automatically on.
The making of this task is to make a productive and naturally worked sunlight based power plant. The innovation is currently ending up quicker, proficient and car. Our undertaking will help by controlling naturally sunlight based capacity to make it valuable. Programmed following framework and programmed charging framework to charge batteries or we can utilize it straightforwardly by charge control. Another reason of making this undertaking is to clean nature sun based power vitality is environmentally friendly power vitality its not destructive for the earth. In future there will be not much sources to make vitality but rather sun based is themain source which is limit less.
A structured based and an effective following and programmed sunlight based power plant for making a sun powered vitality to helpful vitality (power). Natural every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of sun based that is produced will significantly diminish ozone depleting substance discharges like CO2, just as different unsafe poisons, for example, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate issue.
Easy to install, easy to use, it can use in home building anywhere we want, control the bill cost, clean environment energy, free energy source, grid capability.
By this project the peoples can be accommodated electricity anywhere like deserts, jungles, homes, buildings and industries they can use electricity anywhere in the world because sun light is everywhere. Electricity is very important, now a days we can’t do anything without electricity we can’t run our machines or industries. Solar energy is the only way which is limit less. we can also use grid system to help the K.E by shifting the power of the system.
Benefits of the ProjectThe main benefit for beneficiaries (customer) is they can generate their own energy, Pakistan is facing energy generation issues so when peoples are able to generate their own energy they actually helping the energy generation companies to overcome this issue and controlling their bill costs. We can use this project in rural areas or urban areas as well and industries.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableIn this project Arduino and charge controller is our main hub we control the solar tracking with the help of LDR and Arduino, tracking system is for to get maximum solar energy and convert into useable electricity. The power system box will have the meters to indicate all the AC and
DC voltages and currents. There is 2 electrical plug and port to use it directly if any need otherwise this project can be used as a home power system to connect it with the all home appliances and we can also use this technology in industry.
