Abstract
The project deals with use of alternative energy resource for power generation which can be used
to supply power in domestic application. Solar energy is a very large, inexhaustible source of
energy and Green Energy System. Solar energy has a major advantage for no impure outlets but
problem associated with solar is less efficiency and high cost. The power from the sun intercepted
by the earth is approximately 1.8x1011MW, which is many thousand times larger than the present
consumption rate on the earth of all commercial energy sources. Solar tracking system can be
used as a power generating method from sunlight. This method of power generation is simple and
is taken from natural resource. This needs only maximum sunlight to generate power. This
project presents for power generation and sensor based solar tracking system to utilize the
maximum solar energy through solar panel by setting the equipment to get maximum sunlight
automatically in real time. This proposed 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. The proposed method is to design an electronic circuit to sense the
intensity of light and control the DC motor driver for the panel movement, and construct a Buck-
Boost converter for to step up and step-down the voltage, and store the maximum utilized output
voltage in Lead-Acid Battery.
