Solar charger with solar tracking system
Abstract
This Final Year Project report is about ‘Solar Charger with Solar Tracking System’.
Nowadays, solar energy is the most popular renewable energy used as its most sustainable
energy source which is not substantially depleted and does not entail any significant pollutant
emissions or the environmental problems. The continuing use of fossil fuels have brought
adverse environmental consequences to humankind like environmental pollution, the
depletion of natural resources and global warming. Since the conventional solar panel is
stationary and does not follow the direction of sunlight, it cannot obtain maximum sunlight
intensity. Therefore, this project focuses on the design and development of solar charger
which applies dual-axis solar tracking system by using Arduino Atmega328 microcontroller.
The dual-axis tracker can track sunlight more effectively by aligning solar panel with the
movement of the sun in order to allow the sunlight to fall perpendicularly onto the solar panel.
The solar charger can automatically stop batteries charging when the batteries are charged to
its maximum level. This microcontroller-based solar charger can track the sunlight more
effectively than fix–mounted solar panel to charge batteries to the maximum voltage
efficiently.
