Innovation in Solar Energy

A Solar Generator Prototype with Automated Tracking

Abstract

This paper introduces Great Solar Tech, a functional prototype of a solar energy generator designed to maximize energy efficiency by leveraging our strategic geographic location. The developed technology, which uses Arduino and low-cost electronic components, has applications both on Earth and in space exploration missions to Mars and the Moon. This study aligns with UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals, addressing key areas such as access to clean and affordable energy, climate action, and the promotion of sustainable infrastructure. Through the implementation of an automated solar tracking system, the prototype demonstrates a significant improvement in energy capture compared to traditional static solar systems. The results highlight the feasibility and positive impact of using accessible solar technology as an effective, sustainable, and scalable solution for electricity generation in both terrestrial and space contexts.
