Build an automatic solar tracking system that can effectively harness the sun’s rays throughout the day using the open-source libraries and frameworks.


With a limited number of conventional sources of energy like coal, petroleum, natural gas, which creates a lot of pollution too, we are in great danger of complete depletion of these resources as alternative solar energy has a huge potential to meet the ever-growing demands of the human race.


Solar cells are used to convert the sun’s energy into electrical energy. But the sun’s direction and position are different from sunset and sunrise. And it keeps changing throughout the day. Therefore, a stationary system cannot harness the maximum energy on the sun. Thus, building a customized solar energy tracking system can effectively solve the problem. And you can do so using the open-source code libraries and frameworks.
