Optimal Localization of Solar Panel for Better Energy Utilization

In this advancing era of technology we are more concerned about the advancements made in technology rather than thinking upon the alternative sources of energy. Decreasing in the amount of non-renewable sources of energy and increasing in the consumption of the energy as per growth in technology we are trying to find newer ways to extract more amount of energy on renewable sources. Since, as solar energy which is also considered a renewable form of energy can be used to offset some of the power coming from the main grid that is generated by let us say non-renewable sources of energy, and creating these renewable sources in such a way that these provide us with the maximum efficiency is our main goal. This paper proposes a solar tracking system designed with microcontroller and light detecting sensors say LDR’s that will actively track the position of sun and change the position of solar panel’s position accordingly to maximize the energy output. The other LDR incorporated on solar panel helps to detect day or night
