A Solar Tracking System for Renewable Energy

Today, with the impending scarcity of non renewable resources, people are considering to use alternate source of energy. From all other available resources sun energy is the most abundant and it's comparatively easy to convert it to electricity energy. In this project, a solar tracking system for renewable energy is designed and built to collect free energy from the sun, store it in the battery, and convert this energy to alternating current (AC). This makes the energy usable in standard-sized homes as a supplemental source of power or as an independent power source. In the proposed system, the maximum solar tracking will be done by using light sensors placed in different directions. All these sensors interfaced to the micro-controller. The system is designed to respond to its environment in the shortest amount of time. Any source of error at both the software and the hardware level is eliminated, or at least controlled. The system is designed to be stable while it is operating. It is also designed to be resistant to weather, temperature. Furthermore, the system is fail-safe; it can recover from failures or at least indicate that it is in that condition.
