Semi Rotating Solar Panel with Inverter Circuit For Optimum Power Generation With Monitoring Over IOT Platform

The Dual Axis Solar Tracker is an innovative and efficient solution aimed at maximizing solar energy capture by dynamically adjusting the orientation of solar panels. Solar energy has emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy sources, but its effectiveness is directly influenced by the positioning of solar panels relative to the sun’s movement. Traditional fixed solar panel systems can only generate peak energy when the sun is directly overhead, leading to suboptimal energy capture during other parts of the day. To address this limitation, the Dual Axis Solar Tracker is designed to continuously track the sun across both horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) axes, ensuring optimal exposure to sunlight throughout the day and across varying seasons. At the core of this system is the NodeMCU microcontroller, which processes real-time data from Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensors to determine the intensity and direction of sunlight. The NodeMCU then controls servo or DC motors to adjust the solar panels’ orientation accordingly, allowing them to follow the sun's path from sunrise to sunset. This real-time adjustment ensures that the panels remain aligned with the sun’s changing position, significantly improving energy collection efficiency by up to 30-40% compared to fixed systems.
