Developing a dual-axis solar tracker system with arduino

Abstract

Solar panels have been used increasingly in recent years to convert solar energy to 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. The problem that we can see now is most of the solar panel that had been used by a user is only in a static direction. This project is focusing on consuming more energy from the sun using solar tracker. The developed dual-axis solar tracker uses a Light Dependence Resistor (LDR) to sense the intensity of light while servo motor will rotate the solar panel based on the highest intensity of light.
