Using Dual-Axis Autonomous Solar Tracking to Maximize Solar Panel Power Output

Recent global pushes for sustainability have resulted in advances in the development and distribution of green technologies. While solar panels have largely dominated the green energy landscape, their inherent inefficiencies invite technological improvements. To address this real-world problem, this project aimed to create a dual-axis solar panel with autonomous solar tracking capabilities. When tested with a light source, the dualaxis solar panel proved to be, on average, 40% more effective than a conventional, stationary solar panel in maximizing its power output. The project demonstrated that dual-axis solar panels with tracking capabilities are an efficient alternative to traditional solar panels.
