- Abstract
We propose a novel portable photo voltaic electric generator capable of tracking sunlight in all directions essential for disaster areas. Such occurrence often results in disruptions of public services especially power grids. The system prototype consists of a 10W solar panels capable of two axes motion of 120° horizontal and 360° azimuth driven by ATMega8535 micro controller. Two-axis movement is based on two types of sensors capable of 360° directional movements based on the HMC5883 compass sensor. This compass sensor panel is also configured to always directs towards the sun so that if the direction of the base plate was changed, it will automatically direct the panel to the direction of the sun; while 120° vertical movement based on three pieces of LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) as sun sensors. Thus the amount of light received and hence the power output are maximized.
