Automatic Solar Tracker: Presented by

This document presents a project on an automatic solar tracker created by three students. It aims to design a tracking system to locate the sun and move solar panels perpendicular to it for maximum energy conversion. The system uses components like an LDR sensor, 555 timer IC, voltage regulator, L293D motor driver IC, solar plate, battery, gear motor and variable resistor. It has advantages like low cost, saving battery power, generating more electricity in an eco-friendly way. Applications include solar heating, drying, furnaces, cooking and power generation.

Abstract
Solar panel has been used increasingly in recent years to
convert solar energy to electrical energy. The solar panel
can be used either as a stand-alone system or as a large
solar system that is connected to the electricity grids. The
earth receives 84 Terawatts of power and our world
consumes about 12 Terawatts of power per day.

The goal of this project is to design an automatic


tracking system, which can locate position of the sun.
The tracking system will move the solar panel so that it
is positioned perpendicular to the sun for maximum
energy conversion at all time.
INTRODUCTION
 Power generating method from sunlight.

 Conversion of solar energy into electrical energy.


 A Solar tracker is a device used for orienting a solar
Photovoltaic panel or lens towards the sun by using
solar sensor connected with the machine.
COMPONENT
 Voltage Regulator (7805)
 LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)
 555 IC
 L293D IC
 Solar Plate
 Battery Cap
 Gear motor
 Variable Resistor
Circuit Diagram
L293D IC:- L293D is a typical Motor driver or
Motor Driver IC which allows DC motor to drive
on either direction.

Advantages
 It is inexpensive.

 It saves the battery power.


 The tracker not follows sun from East to west
and back to east.
 Generate more electricity.
 Eco-friendly.
 Easyto manufactured.
Applications

 Solar water heating


 Solar drying of agricultural and animal
products
