nation like ours is the energy dilemma. The difference between energy production and consumption is enormous. One of the most potent forms of renewable energy that might significantly contribute to the resolution of this dilemma is solar energy. This study examines the effectiveness of an Arduino-based dual-axis solar tracking device. Due to its availability and environmental friendliness, solar energy is currently being used more and more. On a moving vehicle, a dual axis solar tracker fitted to the EV buggy's roof can track the sun's rays concurrently in both the horizontal and vertical axes. The gadget records daily tilt and seasonal fluctuations for best efficiency. The study focuses on the design and construction of an autonomous dual axis solar tracker utilizing Arduino code and microcontrollerbased solar panel parameters. In addition to software programming for the solar tracker's microcontroller unit, the project's effort involved designing and implementing the hardware. Two servo motors in the system, which spin the solar panel in two axes, are moved by means of a microprocessor. Four photo sensors were placed close to the solar panel, and the microcontroller used these inputs to calculate how much rotation would occur. The project culminated in the design and implementation of a useful solar tracking system. It may repeatedly maintain the alignment of the solar panel with the sun or any other source of light.
1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT To maximize the amount of energy generated, the primary objective is to maintain the solar PV panel perpendicular to the sun during the day. A dual-axis solar tracking system may be a useful tool for raising solar cell efficiency. Reducing pollution, which is a severe problem for both biotic and abiotic components of our home, can be accomplished by making solar energy the primary source of electricity generation. The finite natural resources, such as woodlands and fossil fuels, can be prevented from going extinct. In the intermediate future, individuals may find that a dual axis solar tracking system is a wise choice because of its increased efficiency and reduced negative effects.
1.2 CONSUMPTION OF SOLAR POWER IN INDIA
1.INTRODUCTION
Energy is seen as a key driver of economic growth and a major contributor to wealth creation. Enhancing the standard of living also requires energy. The government is in charge of developing conventional energy sources to meet society's expanding energy needs at a reasonable cost. The necessity for new sustainable energy supply choices that use renewable energies has been highlighted by the depletion of fossil fuel resources and the environmental issues they have brought about. A lot of focus is also being placed on the development and marketing of new, unconventional, alternative, and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and bioenergy. A news agency focused on alternative energy has long maintained that wise investments in renewable energy can bring in large sums of money. Solar energy is one of the most popular sectors.
Energy is the primary driving force behind any nation's progress. Every day, a tremendous amount of energy is produced, transferred, and used in global civilization. The demand for energy is rising in tandem with the daily growth in world population. The primary energy sources today are oil and coal, yet it is true that these fossil fuels are finite and cause significant pollution. Even the price of gasoline has been rising year over year, and there are not very promising medium-term projections. Hydroelectricity, bioenergy, solar, wind, and geothermal energy, as well as tidal power and wave power, are new forms of energy that are gaining prominence .Solar photovoltaic (PV) [1]energy is one of the most widely used sources of energy among those categories. Due to research and development efforts to increase the efficiency and decrease the cost of solar cells, this technology is currently being used more often in homes. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that during
