Solar tree with tracking facilities for solar power output enhancement

Abstract

This project presents a Solar Tree with Tracking Facilities for Solar Power Output Enhancement, integrating multidisciplinary knowledge to optimize solar energy generation. Two design approaches, light sensor-based and time-based, are explored, with the former chosen as the optimal solution. Modern engineering tools like Raspberry Pi and Arduino are utilized. Expected impacts include a functional prototype, increased solar power output, and contributions to sustainability. Ethical considerations address environmental consciousness, equity, and data privacy. Safety measures encompass hazards, user interface design, and emergency protocols. The project reflects responsible engineering practices and offers an innovative solution for cleaner energy sources.
