Automatic Solar Tracking System: A Comprehensive Overview of an advanced Automatic Solar Tracking system using ESP8266

This study focuses on developing a Solar Tracking System using ESP866 microcontrollers and Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) to enhance the efficiency of solar panels. Solar panels work most effectively when directly facing the sun, and this system adjusts the panel orientation throughout the day to achieve optimal sunlight exposure. The ESP866 acts as the system's controller, processing data from strategically placed LDRs that detect the sun's position. This data drives servo motors to adjust the panels for maximum solar exposure, ensuring continuous and efficient energy generation. By implementing this solar tracking system in which the study offers a cost-effective and practical solution to improve energy output from solar panels. The system leverages the programmability of the ESP866 and the light sensitivity of LDRs for real-time adjustments, reducing reliance on fixed panel setups. Its adaptability and affordability make it is useful for various applications, contributing to the wider goal of sustainable energy use. Ultimately, this study advances solar energy technology by providing a scalable, accessible way to maximize solar energy capture, supporting the shift toward more eco-friendly, renewable energy solutions.
