    This project aims to control the position of solar panels based on voltage levels from sunlight in order to maximize power generation. It uses a voltage tracking circuit connected to a microcontroller that receives analog voltage signals from the panels, converts them to digital, and activates a motor driver to adjust the panel position for highest voltage levels as the sun moves. This allows for more efficient solar energy collection than stationary panels.

    VOLTAGE BASED SOLAR TRACKING

    Objective:
    The objective of this project is to control solar panel position based on
    the sun light direction (VOLTAGE)..

    Scope:
    Now a days power demand is increased due to the power failure. This
    project is designed to provide the solution for this power loss.

    Brief Methodology:
    This project is designed with
    1. Solar panels.
    2. Solar tracking model.
    3. Voltage MPPT circuit.
    4. Amplifier.
    5. ADC (Analog to Digital Converter).
    6. Microcontroller.
    7. Driver circuit along with motor.
    Solar panel consists of number of silicon cells, when sun light falls on
    this panel it generate the voltage signals then these voltage signals given to
    charging circuit. Depends on the panel board size the generated voltage
    amount is increased. Naturally sun direction is varied per hour. In order to
    get the efficient voltage the solar panel position has to very as per the sun
    direction.
    In this project voltage circuit is fixed in the solar panel to controller.
    The measurement circuit is used to measure the voltage. The varied voltage
    is comparing to fix (controller side) the panel will rotate using motor that
    voltage signal will get maximum level is already fix in controller side that
    level will detect the panel will place that position. the panel rotate two side
    using motor and not get maximum means which position is the higher
    position of signal positioning in rotating time that will fixed the solar panel
    position . The amplified voltage signal is given to ADC.
    ADC is nothing but Analog to Digital Converter which received the
    voltage signal and converts the input analog signal to corresponding digital
    signal. Then the converted digital signal is given to microcontroller.
    The microcontroller may be ATMEL /PIC /RENESAS /ARM
    microcontroller. It will work according to our object already we have
    programmed. Here the microcontroller is the flash type reprogrammable
    microcontroller in which we have already programmed. Microcontroller
    received two digital signals from the ADC and compares that signal. This
    signal is varied as per the sun light. The microcontroller displays the
    corresponding information on the LCD display and activates the driver
    circuit for motor. The motor is attached in the solar panel. Through this way
    solar panel position is changed as per the sun direction. By using this project
    we can the efficient voltage from the solar panel.

    Advantage:
    1. Low power consumption
    2. Maximum efficiency
    3. Less cost
    4. Easy implementation
    Applications:
    1. Small scale industries
    2. Solar street light.
