Our project

The Smart Solar Tracking System addresses the challenge of climate change by utilizing an innovative approach to harness solar energy. This system employs a micro:bit and light-dependent resistors (LDRs) to dynamically track the sun's movement, ensuring optimal solar panel orientation for maximum energy capture from renewable sources.

Our inspiration

Climate change poses a significant global challenge, and the need for affordable and clean energy solutions is critical. As renewable energy technologies advance, there is a growing demand for efficient systems that harness solar energy effectively and economically.
