The
fundamental framework of the smart solar tracking system, as described in this
study, relied on the development of a mathematical algorithm to regulate the
motion of the solar panel. The system is developed using fuzzy logic, which is
known for its high accuracy and efficiency. An Arduino device is utilized to
define all the necessary components and inputs, such as the DC motor with gear
box for horizontal movement, the servo motor for vertical movement, and the
temperature sensor, etc.The fuzzy logic algorithm, consisting of 524 lines of
programming, incorporates comprehensive instructions, inputs, and control
mechanisms to achieve precise and optimal outcomes while effectively addressing
challenges such as partial shade and the malfunction of an LDR sensor. The
implementation of this empirical approach in the study yielded the maximum
solar radiation during the generating phase, as recorded by the SD card
readings from the eight LDR sensors.
