Abstract :
Solar energy is very important means of expanding renewable energy resources. In this paper is described the design and construction of a microcontroller based solar panel tracking system. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produce because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. The paper begins with presenting background theory in light sensors and stepper motors as they apply to the project. In the conclusions are given discussions of design results.
