This is a power generating method from sunlight. This method of power generation is simple and is taken from natural resource. This need only maximum sunlight to generate power. This project helps for power generation by setting the equipment to get maximum sunlight automatically. This system is tracking for maximum intensity of light. When there is decrease in intensity of light, this system automatically changes its direction to get maximum intensity of light. More: Here we are using two sensors in two directions to sense the direction of maximum intensity of light. The difference between the outputs of the sensors is given to the microcontroller unit. Here we are using the microcontroller for tracking and generating.

This power generation system utilizes photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electrical energy. The operation begins with the deployment of solar panels which are designed to capture sunlight effectively. The efficiency of the system is enhanced through the implementation of a dual-sensor configuration, where each sensor is positioned at a different angle to detect the intensity of sunlight from various directions.

The sensors, typically photoresistors or photodiodes, measure the light intensity and produce corresponding voltage outputs. The microcontroller unit (MCU) receives these outputs and processes the data to determine the optimal orientation for the solar panels. The difference in voltage readings from the two sensors indicates the direction of maximum light intensity. The MCU employs a control algorithm to analyze this difference and calculate the necessary adjustments to the solar panel's position.

To facilitate the movement of the solar panels, a motorized tracking system is integrated. This system may utilize servo motors or stepper motors, which are controlled by the MCU based on the processed sensor data. When the intensity of light decreases, the MCU commands the motors to reposition the solar panels towards the direction of the maximum light intensity, ensuring continuous optimal exposure to sunlight.

The entire system is powered by the electricity generated from the solar panels themselves, making it energy-efficient. Additional features may include a battery storage system to store excess energy for use during low sunlight conditions, and a user interface for monitoring system performance and settings. Overall, this solar tracking system represents an effective approach to maximizing solar energy capture through intelligent automation and real-time adjustments based on environmental conditions.This is a power generating method from sunlight.This method of power generation is simple and is taken from natural resource.
