Solar Tracking System Using Ldr Project Report

There are basically two types of arduino sun trackers.
Solar tracking system using ldr project report. In this project an arduino nano is used which works as a controlling unit. Principle of sun tracking solar panel. Automatic solar panel tracking system using ldr sensor for effective energy generation developed by team edo square. Dual axis solar tracker can simultaneously track sun s radiation in both horizontal and vertical axis.
In this article we are going to make a sun tracking solar panel using arduino in which we will use two ldrs light dependent resistor to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light advantage of this project is that solar panel will always follow the sun light will always face towards the sun to get charge all the time and can. Two ldr s light dependent resistor are also connected to analog pins of the arduino. So solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of sun. Dual axis solar tracker using ldr as a sensor 1.
The designed solar tracker is able to maintain a difference angle of 1 5 degrees between the normal to the pv panel and the sun rays. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board. Arduino solar tracker working. They use the same principle as the mountings of astronomical telescopes.
This system can also be successfully implemented in other solar energy based projects water heaters and steam turbines. A dummy solar plate is attached in parallel to the axis of servo motor and both the sensors are kept on the dummy solar plate as shown in the figure below. 1dual axis solar trackera project report submittedin partial fulfillment of the requirementsfor the degree ofbachlor of technologyinelectronics communicationbyswetansh mani shrivastava 1003331910 under the supervision ofassist. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.
The unit is a mobile system aimed to provide energy in remote areas or during emergency conditions. This article describes about circuit that rotates solar panel. In order to achieve maximum efficiency the device tracks seasonal. Single axis solar tracking system moves the solar panel from east to west in a day to point in the.
Introduction since this project is about creating a solar tracker some light dependent circuit element. One of them is the single axis solar tracker and the other is dual axis.
