Time Programmed Sun Tracking Solar Panel

 Time Programmed Sun Tracking Solar Panel

Time Programmed Sun Tracking Solar Panel project uses an 8051 family microcontroller and the motor is motivated by an interfacing an integrated circuit as the microcontroller is not capable of controlling the requirements of the power of the motor. Furthermore, this project can be developed by using a real-time clock to track the sun. This helps in keeping the necessary position of the solar panel even if the power is disturbed for some time
Time Programmed Sun Tracking Solar Panel project uses a solar panel which is fixed to a stepper motor to track the sun so that full sunlight is made incident upon the solar panel at any time of the day. This is best compared to the light detecting method that may not always be correct. The solar panel is used to convert solar energy to electrical energy is very famous, but due to the moving of the sun from east to west, the solar panel may not be able to produce ideal energy. To overcome this problem, this project is implemented to track the sun using a solar panel. The movement of the solar panel is done by connecting a stepper motor so that the panel keeps its face always vertical to the sun to produce maximum energy. This is attained by using a pre-programmed microcontroller to send stepped pulses in periodical time breaks for 12 hours for the motor to switch the mounted panel. Here solar panel rotates in one direction & then comes back to the start point.
