Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a way in which the efficiency of solar power collection can be increased. It is to increase the efficiency of solar power conversion by increasing the amount of time that the solar panel is directly perpendicular to the sunlight. Efficiency is based on accurately positioning the solar panel throughout the day and thus stepper motors and Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) have been selected as the primary driving mechanism of this system.
