SEMINAR TITLE
AUTOMATIC SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

The Automatic Solar Tracker is a system designed to enhance the efficiency and
performance of solar panels by maximizing their exposure to sunlight throughout the day.
Traditional fixed solar panels have limited orientation, which may result in suboptimal energy
generation. The Automatic Solar Tracker addresses this limitation by dynamically adjusting
the position of the solar panels to align with the sun’s position in the sky. This project utilizes
hardware and software components to achieve automatic tracking. The hardware consists of
light sensors, motors, and a microcontroller. The light sensors detect the intensity of sunlight,
and the microcontroller processes this data to calculate the optimal angle of inclination for
the solar panels. The motors are responsible for adjusting the position of the panels
accordingly
The software part of the system involves programming the microcontroller to interpret
the sensor data, calculate the optimal position, and control the motors accordingly. The
algorithm considers factors such as the time of day, geographic location, and the sun’s
position in the sky to ensure accurate tracking
