ABSTRACT

Solar panels can convert direct sunlight into electricity as a low-cost alternative to using generators. Due to Earth's rotation, conventional solar panels that are fixed at a specific angle are only exposed to a given amount of sunlight. An automatic system that can rotate the solar panel continuously is needed in order to convert the sun's energy to its maximum potential. This issue is fixed by the automatic sun tracking system. In order to detect the ray strength and move the panel toward the sun's maximum output, a microcontroller-based I/O setup is employed as hardware. This system is also coupled to a cleaning wiper, which rotates the panel in an appropriate manner while cleaning it.
