This will be achieved using ARDUINO and some additional components, energy is growing. So the green energy also called the including a pumping machine. The LCD displays that if the renewable energy, has gained much attention Tank is full or empty. The system is applicable in industry and nowadays. for residential use to avoid spillage of liquid to the environment. There is use of temperature sensor to detect the temperature and then if the temperature rises above the 50degree then solenoid valve become ON automatically and water flows for the use. Solar tracking system is used as a renewable energy source and it is efficient than the conventional solar systems. Solar tracking system gives more efficiency as compare to without tracking system. The power comes from solar tracking is stored in battery. And this power also used in home-applications.

1. INTRODUCTION Water is commonly used for agriculture, industry, and home appliance etc. Therefore, water controlling system implementation makes potential significance in home applications. This is represent the design and construction of ARDUINO based water level detector with graphical output. This is achieved using a programmable ARDUINO and some additional components including sensor, RTC, LCD and Solenoid valve. The demand for trackers has expanded significantly in recent years as more reliable and cost effective solutions come to market. Solar tracking system is used as a renewable energy source and it is efficient than the conventional solar systems. Industrial and domestic reliance on the use of fossil fuel is today facing challenges in demand and environmental consideration. Faced with a possibility of scarce oil resources and increasing concern about its harmful Š 2017, IRJET

1.1 Objective The system being developed will focus an automating solar tracking. Solar heater is a device which is used for heating the water, for producing the steam for domestic and industrial purposes by utilizing the solar energy. Solar energy is the energy which is coming from sun in the form of solar radiations in infinite amount, when these solar radiations falls on absorbing surface, then they gets converted into the heat, this heat is used for heating the water. This type of thermal collector suffers from heat losses due to radiation and convection. Such losses increase rapidly as the temperature of the working fluid increases. 1.2 Scope All the resources are basically dependent on solar energy. Wood, coal, gas and oil resources were created using solar energy while even hydro and wind power are essentially derived from solar energy. There have been significant efforts to find new ways of improving solar energy (technological and commercial) and making it more efficient and cost-effective. Some examples include improving the efficiency of the solar cell, finding new materials, such as Cd-Te, mounting and using Azimuth angle while installing, utilizing government and private incentives and rebate programs, implementing smart metering, smart grid, hybrid solar, etc.
