A Smart Control Based On Microcontroller For Solar Tracking System

Abstract

:- In recent decades, researchers have focused on renewable energy sources to reduce the use of fossil fuels, Solar energy is an important source of energy production at lower cost and clean potential because solar cells depend on the intensity of light and the angle of radiation emitted by the sun's rays due to the Earth's rotation. Therefore, ensuring the best sunlight perpendicular on the solar cells is the focus of the research. In this proposal, a smart self-movement system is designed to track the sun's rays and keep them falling on solar panels perpendicullary at all times of the day. The microcontroller AT-MAGA328P is used to control the motion of two-axis solar panels through the use of alternating servo motors. The microcontroller adopts reading a signal from the sensors that detect the maximum light intensity. The main purpose of this proposal research is to create a smart, low-cost and efficient system by compared to research data in previous works.
