The project “Automated Dual-Axis Sun Tracking System for Optimal Solar Energy Capture” is designed to improve the efficiency of solar power generation by continuously tracking the position of the sun using a dual-axis tracking mechanism. The system uses LDR sensors to detect sunlight intensity and an Arduino Uno microcontroller to control servo motors that rotate the solar panel in both horizontal and vertical directions for maximum solar energy absorption throughout the day. An RTC module is interfaced through the I2C bus to provide accurate real-time operation and automated tracking control. By continuously adjusting the panel position according to the sun’s movement, the system increases power generation efficiency compared to fixed solar panels. This project provides an effective, eco-friendly, and reliable solution for renewable energy applications, especially in rural electrification and solar-powered systems.
