LOW COST PORTABLE CLOUD BASED HYBRID DUAL AXIS SOLAR POWER MONITORING SYSTEM

With the rapid increase in global demand of electricity, it becomes very important to have an influence of clean energy with zero emissions in the surrounding. Solar Energy being one of the most prominent sustainable energy resource stands as a backbone especially for the developing countries today ensuring good returns with one-time investment. This study presents the efficiencies of energy conversion of LDR with a solar tracking system. The proposed sun tracking system uses 4 LDRs', which are mounted on the sides of the solar panel. By these Light depending resistors, the solar tracking system becomes more sensitive and it allows us to determine a more accurate location of the sun. This paper presents a low-cost portable solution to provide remote access using IoT based Cloud Management System to real time power generation data along with the track of physical parameters involved in determining the efficiency of the system. The dual axis solar power generation has been improvised with the GPS and LDR feedback altogether to improve the characteristics of the actuator movement along with an efficient water-based distributed cooling system to boost cell life and to have an efficient power generation.
