1.0 Proposed Thesis Title:

Sun Tracking Solar Panel Using Arduino

2.0 Area of Investigation

This project has been designed keeping this in view to make harnessing of
solar energy more efficient.

3.0 Reason of Choice

The project is based on Arduino controller which controls the various activities
since the solar panel gathers energy from the sun.

4.0 Importance of Study

Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel. Light
dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them.

5.0 Target Users/Beneficiaries

Solar energy is unlimited source of energy which if harnessed properly will

get the people devoid of using the conventional sources of energy.

6.0 Theoretical Framework

Input Process Output

Setting up Solar Stepper motor Solar Panel tracks the

Panel sun.

7.0 Scope and Limitation

Solar panels should absorb energy to a maximum extent. This can be done only
if the panels are continuously placed towards Sun direction. So solar panel should
continuously rotate in the direction of Sun.

8.0 Features

The solar panel is attached to a motor and the motor is electrically connected
to the controller board then track the availability of the sun.

9.0 Material Needed

Power Supply, Rectifier, Regulator, Arduino, Solar Panel, Stepper motor,

Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes

10.0 Estimated Cost

15,000 - 25,000 PHP
