As the energy demand and the environmental problems increase, the natural energy sources have become very important as an alternative to the conventional energy sources. The renewable energy sector is fast gaining ground as a new growth area for numerous countries with the vast potential it presents environmentally and economically. Solar energy plays an important role as a primary source of energy, especially for rural area. This paper aims at the development of process to track the sun and attain maximum efficiency using Arduino uno and LabVIEW for real time monitoring. The project is divided into two stages, which are hardware and software development. In hardware development, four light dependent resistor (LDR) has been used for capturing maximum light source. Two DC motors have been used to move the solar panel at maximum light source location sensing by LDR. The GUI is constructed by using LabVIEW. The performance of the system has been tested and compared with static solar panel. This paper describes the design of a low cost, solar tracking system.

The growing popularity of Internet enabled system and development of embedded technology, web technology has been extended to the development embedded system. The embedded web server is designed by integrating embedded CGI scripts, HTML and Database. Here the proposed system consists of an ARM Cortex-A8 processor AM335x with 10/100/1G Ethernet can provide remote access with reasonable speed. This system is suitable for enhancing the security and control and status monitoring of industrial parameters where high safety and care is necessity. The Linux is dominating the embedded market with the many features like realtime control, open-source applications, easy upgradability, and compatibility with many processors. To create products that can endure rugged and extreme thermal industrial environments such as industrial automation and control, human machine interface etc.
