Solar Tracking system using cloud computing

In this modern world, nations are looking forward for renewable energy since they are free, clean to use and are available abundantly in the nature when compared to the fossil fuels. According to the latest reports, India is becoming a solar superpower because international airport like CIAL is running purely over renewable energy. And one of the world’s largest solar projects has just been completed in Tamil Nadu, India. This project aims to build a trial device which can be used prior to the implementation of solar plant which uses a huge investment for its completion. The project is divided into two parts- hardware and software. Hardware parts comprises of Arduino, LDR sensors and servo motors whereas software consist of a mobile application for accessing graph. For cloud computing Amazon web server is used. Data that we obtained from the LDR sensors are sent to the cloud and computational processes will be done there. And finally, after processing, the output will be a graph. The graph can be accessed by the mobile application. By analyzing the graph, we can decide whether the location we are planning to have a huge project like solar plant, will be suitable or not. Benefit from this project is the early prediction about future of the solar plant, planning for a particular location. And, thus, it helps to prevent huge investment before knowing the feasibility of the project.
