Abstract:
In this project, we made progress on an open-loop-based solar panel that tracks the sun. The main goal of the project is to capture the maximum amount of light from the sun and convert it to electricity so that it can be used and moved with ease. By positioning the solar panel such that it faces away from the sun's beams, this interaction should be achievable so that even the strongest daylight may be converted into electricity. Because of this system's incredibly high efficiency. This tracker's main feature is its independence from the sun's energy. It adjusts itself as suggested by that by taking the sun's coordinate directly in accordance with its position. Additionally, it provides improved dependability and efficiency. The advantages of In order to extract the optimal power from solar radiation, the investigation article describes the planning of a cost-effective sun position global positioning framework. The AVR atmega8L microcontroller, an advanced device, forms the basis of the present system. A dedicated board is envisioned to track the location of the sun. The board consists of two photodiodes that are arranged in a standard manner. The location of the sun is determined by gradually contrasting the output of two photodiodes. The program is developed in Code Vision AVR's IDE and then ported to the intended target device. The Sun's rays are predicted to move from east to west as the globe rotates, with the resulting sensor modifications. Two sensors collect basic signals, which are then digitalized and evaluated. The direction of the pivot is determined by the correlation's outcome.
