    Dual axis solar tracker
    (UMT.Lahore, 2014) Osaid Atif; Sajeel Qureshi; Saad Iftikhar; Jubeir Ahmad
    Solar energy is rapidly becoming important mean of renewable energy resources. As such it is very important that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area. Our project included the design and construction of a microcontroller-based solar panel tracking system. Using solar tracking we can produce more energy because the solar array is able to remain united to the sun. This system builds upon topics learned in this course. Our work will ultimately be demonstrated to validate the design. Problems and possible improvements will also be presented. In our project we designed 8 panels, solar tracker. Designed device is capable to rotate the panel in position of sun. MPPT (maximum power point tracker) is the technique that we used. 4 LDR’s (light dependent resistor) are used for input. These inputs are provided to LM324 a comparator IC (integrated circuit) which sends the high level input to the controller for decision.
