Peningkatan Produktivitas Panel Surya Menggunakan Metode Dual Axis Solar Tracker Dan Mikrokontroler

Abstract

This research aims to increase solar panel productivity using the Dual Axis Solar Tracker method. The system utilizes Arduino Uno, four LDR sensors, and two DC motors to move the solar panel. Testing was conducted over seven days in various weather conditions, comparing the performance of the Dual Axis system with a static system. Results show an average efficiency increase between 14.82% to 35.3%, with most results in the 15-19% range. The Dual Axis system consistently outperformed the static system in all tested weather conditions. Data analysis indicates that the dual axis system can maintain optimal performance in various atmospheric conditions. Implementation of this system can improve the efficiency of solar power plants, especially in areas with varied weather conditions. This research demonstrates the potential of the dual axis solar tracker system in substantially increasing solar panel efficiency.
