Abstract:
The tracking system which can track the sun’s path is necessary to harvest as much as sun’s energy throughout the day. As Sun’s energy is abundantly available free energy in earth, we can make maximum use of such energy. A PCB board for sun tracking system has been developed which suits the application for tracking mechanism. This paper stresses on a unique method used for tracking mechanism. A parabolic sun light collector is being placed in the research lab, which collects the sun light throughout the day to lighten a dark room where sun light is not available. The PCB board designed takes external power supply to power up motors and microcontroller. The PMDC (Permanent Magnet DC) motors are used for the operation. Atmega16 is the main controller for the PCB board designed.
