Design of a Solar Tracking System for Renewable Energy

Existing Work:

In the existing work, the concept of designed using Light Dependent resistors (LDR) which are very unreliable when there is no sunlight in Day conditions thus will cause in the decrease in the production.

Proposed Work:

In the Design of a Solar Tracking System for Renewable Energy Proposed work, we are implementing the concept using a solar position based algorithm, thus the system will follow the sun angle of inclination and elevation in the sky which results in efficient tracking and production.
