SUN TRACKING SOLAR PANEL WITH ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION

The increasing global demand for renewable energy and sustainable transportation necessitates innovativesolutions. This project proposes a system that combines sun-tracking solar panels with an electric vehicle (EV)charging station, aiming to maximize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Sun-tracking technologyenhances the solar panels' ability to capture sunlight throughout the day, improving energy production by up to30-40% compared to fixed panels. The generated energy is utilized to charge EVs, fostering an eco-friendlyalternative to traditional fuel-based transportation. The integration also considers energy storage systems toensure consistent power availability, regardless of weather conditions. This research work not only contributesto cleaner energy but also addresses challenges such as cost-effectiveness, infrastructure optimization, andenvironmental benefits. The proposed system sets a precedent for the advancement of sustainable technologiesin urban and rural settings. The increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources has made solarenergy a critical component in the pursuit of sustainable development. However, the efficiency of conventionalsolar panels is limited due to their fixed orientation, which reduces their ability to capture maximum sunlightthroughout the day. This project presents the design and implementation of a Sun Tracking Solar ChargingStation. The system is equipped with light-dependent resistors (LDRs), microcontroller-based control circuitry,and motorized actuators to ensure real-time tracking of sunlight.
