Abstract

nAn IoT-based solar tracking and monitoring system using ESP32. The system uses LDR sensors to track the position of the sun and servo motors to rotate the solar panel accordingly Recently, new technologies have been developed to boost the amount of solar energy collected by these systems through the use of both direct and indirect methods. Using tilt angle adjustment and ST applications are two of these strategies to help them make the most of the available sun light. With rigorous optimization and control, only ST could be able to overcome the numerous limitations that these technologies still have. Perfectly aligned solar panels and CSP systems can compensate for fluctuations in the sun’s azimuth angle, yearly latitude offset, and daily altitude angle. The voltage, current, and temperature sensors are used to monitor the performance of the solar panel. The data collected from the sensors is sent to the Blynk app for remote monitoring. The Blynk app is a free and open-source IoT platform that allows users to create custom dashboards to monitor and control their devices The MQTT protocol is used to transfer the sensor data to the Blynk app. he Blynk app can then be used to display the data in real time and to generate alerts if any problems are detected.
