Abstract
One of the factors to consider when producing electrical energy is the ability to produce an adequate amount of energy at a reasonable cost without causing any adverse effects on the environment. The objective of this research was to create a system that ensures that solar panels are always oriented to face the sun, thereby achieving the highest possible level of light intensity. The energy output efficiency of solar panels is considerably improved, resulting in cost savings and a reduced environmental impact, as a result of the increased light intensity received through the use of solar trackers. The solar tracking system was tested by measuring voltage, current, and power with a specially designed instrument. The results indicated that the use of a solar tracker resulted in a 9.87% increase in voltage, a 22.85% increase in current, and a 27.54% increase in power when compared to a static configuration. The voltage measurement error ranged from 0% to 1.4%, while the current measurement error ranged from 0% to 18%. Furthermore, the MPU-6050 sensor exhibited an average tilt angle error of 1.6%.
