ARM Based Solar Tracking System

Solar energy systems have emerged as a viable source of renewable energy over the past two or three decades, and are now widely used for a variety of industrial and domestic applications. Such systems are based on a solar collector, designed to collect the sun’s energy and to convert it into either electrical power or thermal energy. In general, the power developed in such applications depends fundamentally upon the amount of solar energy captured by the collector, and thus the problem of developing tracking schemes capable of following the trajectory of the sun throughout the course of the day on a year. This project is designed with ARM7TDMI processor. The ARM7TDMI processor does the job of fetching the input from the sensor and gives command to the motor to run in order to tackle the change in the position of the sun.
