Solar tracking system optical sensor Features: • Auto OFF/ON switch System Tracking. • Display Battery Percentage (%). • Consume less energy compared to existing system. • Wireless charging monitoring system with Android Application. • This electrical energy we will store in the battery and finally we will use it after evening showing the LED Indicator. • Perfect Tracking System . Methodology Actually photo electric effect is used for generating electricity. This electrical energy we will store in the battery and finally we will use it after evening. Solar sun light tracker and optical sensor is connected with Arduino UNO. Rotation angle and controlling will be done by the microcontroller IC Atmega-328. Microcontroller stores the C# programming code. Other people have not developed automatic switching system but I am going to do this thing with battery charge (%) showing in the display.

3. Introduction
Solar Panel Rotation Control Using Optical Sensor 3October 26, 2020
✓ Arduino UNO rotates the solar plate with fixed angle using motor.
✓ Solar plate photo electric charge is stores in the battery.
✓ The stored charge can be used for different purposes.
✓ LDR (Light Detecting Resistor) will detect light from different angles.
✓ Actually optical sensor also generates signal and sends to Micro-controller.
✓ Battery voltage will be monitored by android application (Blue Serial).

4. Motivation
Picture courtesy :www.wallpaperflare.com 4October 26, 2020
• We are using coal, gas, petrol continuously. All of this fossil fuels are limited. Imagine one day all of this fossil
fuels will be ended. For the next centuries we must have to depend on renewable energy.
• Sun light is one of the important renewable energy. To utilize the light of sun properly we need a special
technology to generate the electrical energy.
• Solar tracking system is the best solution to generate electrical energy without using petrol, coal, gas etc.
• All countries sun rising and falling angle is not exact east to west. 360 degree rotation of solar panel is so
important for all global peoples.

Their Limitations :
 They have not used light detecting live sensor (LDR).
 At cloudy sky timer base tracking system is unnecessary.
 They have no charge monitoring system.
 Just East West tracking is not perfect for all global people.

My Contribution :
 I have used dual axis solar tracking system.
 Live time solar tracking system using LDR.
 When cloud will remove from sky at a time, then LDR will detect light and move
to its right position.
 I have used an application software for monitoring charge and battery condition
which name is Blue Serial.
