SUNMOTION – INTELLIGENT SOLAR PANEL ROTATION
SunMotion integrates four-quadrant illumination sensing, dual-axis photovoltaic panel positioning, embedded decision logic, and electrical-output monitoring in a unified solartracking configuration. Normalized differences of lightdependent resistor signals determine azimuth and elevation corrections, while angular limits and deadband control suppress unnecessary actuator movement. Synchronized voltage–current acquisition establishes the basis for power estimation, and auxiliary consumption is incorporated into the net-energy model. The developed system architecture includes a monitoring interface, operating-state supervision, and a fixed-orientation reference procedure. Evaluation combines mathematical analysis of incidence-angle effects, functional verification criteria, and quantitative findings from relevant solar-tracking investigations. The resulting engineering framework establishes traceable control and energy-assessment methods while distinguishing cited experimental findings from device-specific performance verification.
