SMART SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM BASED ON SG90 SERVO MOTOR USING ARDUINO

Abstract

My vision of project will address the problem of energy accessibility in Gabon and other African countries. This project explores the development of a smart solar tracking system leveraging the Servo motor SG90 and Arduino microcontroller. The objective is to enhance the efficiency of solar panels by optimizing their orientation towards the sun throughout the day, thereby maximizing energy capture. Implementing such systems in Gabon aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, mitigate environmental impacts, and lower energy costs for local communities. By utilizing low cost components and open-source technology, this innovation provides an accessible and sustainable solution for renewable energy adoption. The study covers design specifications, data collection, and performance evaluation, ultimately demonstrating significant improvements in solar panel efficiency.
