Dual Axis Solar Tracker With Weather Monitoring System

Solar energy is one such non-conventional and sustainable form of energy that also has a high potential for conversion into electrical power. With the present solar energy harvesting technologies we only have high production at specific periods typically noon.This project presents a dual axis solar tracker system that significantly boosts productivity. This project work is made up of several LDR sensors and a motorized mechanism that rotates the panel in the direction of the sun. A dual-axis tracker can improve energy by tracking sun rays from several solar panels. The microcontroller-based control system detects sunlight and controls the motorized mechanism. This project may also be used to simulate raindrops temperature and humidity using sensors and the results can be shown on a mobile phone. This technology operates continuously and without interruption increasing the efficiency of the solar panels by up to 80%.
