| dc.description.abstract | This project was carried out to integrate the solar tracking system with improved monitoring features. 3D modelling was used to design the solar panel frame that were used to develop the prototype part by 3D printer. This tracker consist of photovoltaic panel that is used to convert the collected solar energy into electrical energy and stepper motor to move the panel in its designated axis. A fixed solar panel are less efficient in collecting the solar energy which make a solar tracker more efficient in maximizing the energy collection. This is done in order to make sure that the sun rays fall perpendicularly on the surface of solar panel. The tracker used four Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) to capture the maximum amount of light and move the motors to most suitable position and follow the position of the sun throughout the day. The estimated data extracted from the tracking process where to track the sunlight direction and the amount of power generated from the dual-axis solar tracking system was established. This solar tracker is designed as an active tracker system and controlled by microcontroller. The electronic parts include the using of NodeMCU and Arduino UNO as the microcontrollers involved for the tracking system. A small scale solar tracker has been built to ensure the cost is low and reasonable. The development of the application on the smartphone was also completed as this project require a smartphone application to be integrated with the system. The application was developed by using MIT Apps Inventor and manage to get reading of power, voltage and current generated by this type of solar tracker. This project is considered to be a novel idea in contributing for solar energy and renewable energy industries for future energy generation. | en_US |
