Design And Monitoring Of A Dual Axis Solar Tracking System

Abstract

The energy crisis and pollution are two of the biggest problems facing our planet. To save our environment and fulfill the global demand for power, we must use cleaner sources to generate energy. This project consists of designing a GSM-based data acquisition program for a dual-axis solar tracking system that uses sunlight to produce power that is both clean and sustainable. The materials used include a solar photovoltaic panel, an esp 32 microcontroller, an LDR sensor, current and voltage sensors, an AM 2301 sensor, a convertor, and a servo motor. All data coming from the sensors will be sent and collected on a specially designed web page, which will be used in system supervision to monitor the data collection and analysis process and display data in real time and controlling the system remotely. A SCADA system using OPC technology and TIA PORTAL program will be used to monitor the system and check its performance anywhere and at any time.
