Overview: 

This project aimed to enhance the efficiency of solar panels in Colombia, using microcontroller technology to optimize their angle based on sun exposure. 

Objectives:

• Maximize solar energy collection

• Build low-cost system for rural areas

• Learn PID control for real-time actuation

Results

• 11% increase in solar efficiency compared to static assembly

• Achieve a tracking accuracy of +/- 2° 

• Obtained sustainability award, future plans for expansion
