Abstract

The Adaptive Sun-Tracking Solar Panel aims to design an intelligent solar panel system capable of tracking the sun's position using light-dependent resistors (LDRs) and an Arduino microcontroller. The primary objective is to enhance solar energy efficiency by optimizing the panel's orientation throughout the day. The system incorporates a Wi-Fi module, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection through a Telegram interface, ensuring easy access and analysis of solar panel performance. This innovative design enhances the conventional solar panel setup by providing automatic alignment with the sun, maximizing energy absorption, and improving overall system efficiency. The sun-tracking mechanism offers significant advantages over fixed solar panels, including higher energy output and reduced dependence on manual adjustments. The project also has the potential for positive socio-economic impact by contributing to the adoption of renewable energy sources, promoting sustainable energy practices, and lowering electricity costs for users. Environmentally, it supports the reduction of carbon emissions and fosters a greener, more sustainable future. With growing interest in clean energy technologies, the commercialization prospects for this sun-tracking system are promising, offering opportunities for widespread implementation in residential, industrial, and commercial sectors.
