Abstract

This paper designs an automatic light tracing system for solar power generation. Arduino UNO was used as the development board, and 3D printing technology was used to create a device construction bearing connection mold. Adjust the angle using horizontal and vertical motors, receive light signals through photosensitive resistors, judge the brightest spot of light, and track and capture light. This design can make the solar panel receive sunlight to the maximum extent, improving the efficiency of power generation.
