IoT-Enabled Dual-Axis Solar Tracking System

By modifying solar panels to track the sun's path throughout the day, this project develops a solar tracking system that improves energy efficiency. For Internet of Things connectivity, the system makes use of an ESP8266 microcontroller, which permits remote monitoring through Google Firebase and real-time data logging. Light-dependent resistors (LDRs) sense the location of the sun, and servo motors orient the panel to capture the most sunlight possible. The technology ensures better energy absorption by recording aspects such as light intensity and panel position. IoT integration enables consumers to monitor system performance through a web interface or mobile application. Suitable for both home and business uses, this system is designed to maximize the use of solar power. It is a dependable and affordable way to optimize solar energy output because of its automatic tracking mechanism.
