2. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ELECTRONICS IN SOLAR PROBLEM & SOLUTION COMPONENTS CONTROL ALGORITHM ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES 2nd PHASE (MODEL)

3. FIXED SOLAR PANELS HAVE THEIR LIMITATIONS, RESULTING IN FAILING TO CAPTURE SUN’S ENERGY EFFICIENTLY + INTRODUCTION ENERGY PRODUCTION INCREASES BY UPTO 30%

4. ELECTRONICS AT THE CORE SENSORS MICROCONTROLLER ACTUATORS These are the Electronic Eyes. Photodiodes or Photovoltaic cells are used. Monitors the sun’s position & intensity. It is System’s Brain. It processes information received from sensors. It calculates the angle of solar panels so that they are always towards Sun. They are Electronic Muscle of system. They respond to Microcontroller’s instructions. Physically adjusts the Solar panel.

5. PROBLEM SOLUTION Fixed Solar Panel’s Inefficiency Automatic Solar Panel Rotator Sun’s Movement : Sun’s position changes throughout the day. Seasonal Variation : Sun’s pathway changes due to seasonal variations. Maximum Solar Energy Capture Adapts to Seasonal Changes Reduces Shading & Increases Efficiency

7. COMPONENTS Here we make use of : 1. LDR(Light dependent resistor) : It detects for the maximum intensity. 2. Servo Motor driver : Tilt’s the solar panel to max intensity direction. 3. Arduino UNO : controls the motor and LDR by reading the values in LDR and accordingly rotates the motor. 4. Battery 9V : To provide electric current to the motor. 5. Solar Panel : To generate electricity with maximum efficiency. MOTOR LDR SOLAR PANEL

8. Connections (Circuit Diagram) Here both LDR’s are connected to different resistors of 1K ohm. We read the fluctuations of resistance due to intensity by ports A0 and A1. Servo motor gets data from 9. Connections are made accordingly as shown in the diagram.

9. ADVANTAGES Increased Energy Production Improved Efficiency Adaptability Environmental Benefits Shading Mitigation DISADVANTAGES Higher Initial Cost Maintenance Complexity Reliability Installation Challenges Space Requirements

10. Sustainable goal:- Affordable & Clean energy Climate Action CONCLUSION Identified inherent limitations of fixed solar panels. Innovative solution, Automatic Solar Panel Rotator. Explored regarding electronics core. Components & Methodology. Its Pros & Cons.
