There are a wide range of applications of light sensors. The applications include scientific research to everyday residential applications like security systems, burglar alarms garage door openers, solar tracking systems etc. In this project, a simple light sensor is designed using LDR. The project is built around Arduino.
Arduino based Solar Street Light The project is designed for LED based street lights with auto intensity control by an Arduino board using solar power from photovoltaic cells. As awareness for solar energy is increasing, more and more individuals and institutions are opting for solar energy.
The power gain and system power consumption are compared with a static and continuous dual axis solar tracking system. It is found that power gain of single axis solar tracking system is almost double to static axis solar tracking system, whereas the power saved in system operation by the hybrid tracker is 87%.
Simple Dual Axis Solar Tracker: En español.We at love using solar energy with our electronics projects. For the most part it's extremely easy to work into small, low voltage, projects. One frequent question we get from students and hobbyists is "How can I m...
In this article we are going to make a Sun Tracking Solar Panel using Arduino, in which we will use two LDRs (Light dependent resistor) to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light.
Nowadays a new range of solar LED Street lighting make their presence felt everywhere and these lights are environmentally friendly and are easy to install and give high-intensity LED output. The solar LED street lights system convert sun energy to electricity and the system is prompted to turn on as the darkness approaches.
Since solar energy is renewable, it is a good power source, especially for developing countries. In this project, I am going to show you how to make a solar tracker using Arduino Nano. The solar panel tracker is designed to follow the sun movement so that maximum light intensity hits on the solar panel, thus increasing the power efficiency.
PATIL ET. AL.: SOLAR ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM USING IoT Indian J.Sci.Res. 15 (2): 149-155, 2017 PROPOSED WORK The main objective of this proposed work is to Power of the system can be monitor using the current and voltage value sensed by the arduino. The monitor of the solar energy system shows the power and energy usage.

Abstract- As the energy demand and the environmental problems increase, the natural energy sources have become very important
Background The Dual Axis Solar Tracker was designed as a project that integrated simple Arduino programing and solar energy creation. The kit uses an Arduino Uno, an Arduino Sensor Shield, two 9G Metal Gear Servos, and four light detecting resistors to achieve active tracking in real time.
Light sensor and street light control using Arduino is designed to measure the intensity of light or amount of light. Street light is controlled automatically with the help of the intensity of light and Arduino. Arduino UNO R3 is used in this project. Light-dependent resistor is used for the detection of light.
The assembling of the entire solar LED street light system can be connected using all the above components which use sun energy to give the power to the LED lamps fixed on street poles. Solar Powered Led Street Light with Auto Intensity Control Project Kit by
The designed solar tracker is able to maintain a difference angle of 1.5 degrees between the normal to the PV panel and the sun rays. The unit is a mobile system aimed to provide energy in remote areas or during emergency conditions. 1. INTRODUCTION Since this project is about creating a solar tracker, some light dependent circuit element
Hi! I and a friend are trying to build a solar tracker with solar panels. However, we have very limited knowledge on using Arduinos and coding, so we would like some guidance and advice with our project. So far, we have the following materials for our project: 1 Arduino Uno
utilization) control of street light using various electrical as well as electronic components. The circuit named auto intensity control of street light with solar tracker is designed using microcontroller along with real time clock (RTC) and Light Dependent Resistance (LDR).
Schematic of the Arduino Solar Tracker Circuit As you can see in the schematic all that you need to make the electrical part is the board, one servo, 2 LDRs and 2 x 10K resistors. Usually the servo has a yellow wire that is used to control the rotation and it must be connected on pin 9 on the board.
