Description
Summary:Dual-axis smart solar tracking system which is to optimize photovoltaic (PV) panel orientation for maximum energy generation on a global scale. The system seamlessly integrates components, including a microcontroller, a Global Positioning System (GPS), an automated compass, and a gyro orientation sensor. This integration enables precise sun tracking with minimal power consumption. Weather forecasting as well as self cleaning of PV panels can also be integrated. The Solar tracking system offers a highly efficient and adaptable solution for maximizing PV panel performance worldwide. Its operation and minimal power usage make it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective choice for solar energy generation, further advancing the global adoption of renewable energy technologies.
