Hardware Implementation of Sun Tracking Solar Panel Using 8051 Micro-Controller

Abstract

The Solar Panel consists of a number of solar cells If the solar panel is continuously aligned with Sun rotation, In this paper, a solar tracking hardware implementation is offered to the Sun's movement throughout the day. The affordable solar panel design is based on 8051 micro-controller, dc motor and light sensor aligned in a simple circuit. The main goal is to get the current solar panel output. The output of the proposed solar tracking panel is found to be 32.17% higher as compared to the static Flat solar panel.
