PROJECT PROPOSAL

SOLAR PANEL SUN TRACKER
Abstract: It is simple sun tracker to position the solar panel according to position of sun. The purpose of this project is to increase the efficiency of solar panel. We can do it by positioning the solar panel perpendicular to the sun. There are 4 light sensors on each corner of solar panel. The microcontroller takes the decision to move the panel according to how much sensors are in sun light. Then signal is generated to rotate the servo at required angle. When day was passed the solar panel automatically move to initial position where it was at start of the day. Block Diagram:
