Microcontroller Based Solar Tracking System

Renewable energy solutions are becoming increasingly popular.  Photovoltaic (solar) systems are but one example.  Maximizing power output from a solar system is desirableto increase efficiency.  In order to maximize power output from the solar panels, one needs to keep the panels aligned with the sun.  As such, a means of tracking the sun is required.  This is a far more cost effective solution than purchasing additional solar panels.  It has been estimated that the yield from solar panels can be increased by 30 to 60 percent by utilizing a tracking system instead of a stationary array .  This project develops an automatic tracking system which will keep the solar panels aligned with the sun in order to maximize efficiency.
