Abstract

ABSTRACTSolar energy has become an increasingly important and popular renewable energy source. By using a solar tracking system, we can produce an abundance of energy and improve the efficiency of solar panels. The solar panel's efficiency lies in its perpendicular proportionality with the sun's rays. Although cheaper options are also available, its installation charge is high. A prototype solar panel is discussed in this paper based on the sun's rays as the reason for its design and construction. Arduino is used as the main control circuit. As a result of the programming of this device, the LDR sensor, when it detects sun rays, will provide direction to the Servo Motor in order to move the solar panel. Consequently, the solar panel is positioned so that it can receive the maximum amount of sunlight.1.INTRODUCTIONSystems analysis is a process of collecting factual data, understand the processes involved, identifying problems and recommending feasible suggestions for improving the system functioning. This involves studying the business processes, gathering operational data, understand the information flow, finding out bottlenecks and evolving solutions for overcoming the weaknesses of the system so as to achieve the organizational goals.
