Aims: The principal aim of this study is to make an automatic single-axis solar panel tracking system according to the sun's movement. The purpose of this effort is to design an efficient microcontroller-based solar panel follower system to follow the trajectory of the sun. Study Design: This research initiative aims to design, simulate, and implement an automatic single-axis solar panel tracking system using Arduino Uno microcontroller and light sensors and thus to ensure that the environment is clean and safe to combat the climate change effect. This is especially significant in locations where the amount of sunshine varies during the day. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB), Dhaka, Bangladesh between January 2023 and July 2023. Methodology: In this research effort, we used an Arduino Uno microcontroller, servo motor, LDR sensor, LEDs, solar photovoltaic panel, etc. to make the proposed system. Arduino IDE was used for the program development. The microcontroller controls a servo motor to drive the solar panel from east to west to follow the sun’s path in the same direction. Results: The simulation results and hardware output results confirm its functionality. Conclusion: This design has the potential to drastically cut energy costs and increase the use of renewable energy sources by augmenting the efficacy of photovoltaic systems through the use of a microcontroller-driven single-axis solar tracker, thus contributing to a more sustainable future. This can be scaled up in the future using more sensors and axis.

The concern over the environment with respect to power and electricity, solar energy is used to orient various payloads towards the sun in order to the sun energy. Payload can be reflectors, photovoltaic cells, lenses or other optical devices. As the world population is increasing gradually the need for energy is increasing equally. Every day we depend on energy for the purpose of electricity, hot water and fuel for automobiles. Majority of this energy come from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. These are a non renewable energy source, which means that if we use them all up, we can never get more during our life time, so it is important that we use other energy sources, like renewable energy sources. These are energies that can be used again and again such as sunlight, water and wind. The main aim of this proposed system is to absorb maximum solar energy from the solar panel. Here the payload is photovoltaic cell. The solar tracker is the one which traces the sun's movement continuously, such that maximum amount of sunlight falls on the solar panel which we have designed.
