Solar cells mounted on solar panel modules are expected to track sunlight throughout the day to produce maximum energy. The Firefly algorithm (FA) is embedded in the Arduino Mega microcontroller to control the tracking of the sun's position by the solar panel so that the absorption of solar energy can be as much as possible to get maximum electrical energy. The brightest light captured by the solar panel is represented as the light intensity of a firefly. The output of the solar tracking system is obtained by finding the best value of light intensity between fireflies. Parameter changes in FA, such as firefly population, random numbers, and number of iterations affect the results of FA. The largest population, the highest random number and iteration provide the best solution but take a long time to execute. FA can control solar panels in tracking the sun's position precisely with an average error of 1.28% and can absorb a total energy of 666.14 Watt/day. The best solution (98% of setpoint 720) was obtained when the population was set to 50, the random number to 0.8, and iteration to 50. This research can be used as a reference for later using a controller with higher specifications to speed up the FA process time in getting maximum control results.

This research aimed to build a solar tracker for a floating solar panel and used long–range (LoRa) communication to harvest energy and monitor its process. With the rising demand for renewable energy in these recent years especially for solar energy, it needs to meet this demand to remain relevant for the upcoming years where it will have an even larger impact as we shift into clean energy. Monitoring single–axis solar trackers on rural areas difficult and cost–intensive. The purpose of a floating solar farm is to reduce the cost from buying/renting land. Floating solar panels cannot be monitored using wired because they are moving nodes in the water, it makes wired installation complicated. Hence, using wireless sensornetwork is a solution that allowsremote monitoring of floating solar panels in rural areas and makes moving nodes mentioned above possible. Testing wasperformed by sending 100 packets from the node to its gateway using LoRa modulation, and the gateway successfully received about 90% of the packets sent by the node. The vertical single-axis solar tracker used in floating solar managed to get 17% more energy than the fixed solar with a more stable income for the whole duration of sending 100 packets.©2020.
