Abstract: The titled invention discloses a dual-axis solar tracking system for electric vehicle (EV) charging applications, configured to maximize solar energy harvesting through automatic· sun tracking. The system comprises a dual-axis tracking frame (1) 10 supporting a solar panel (4), a plurality of LDR sensors (2) arranged in a quadrant configuration for detecting sunlight intensity, a microcontroller (3) configured to process sensor signals, a horizontal servo motor (8) and a vertical servo motor (9) configured to orient the solar panel (4) along azimuth and elevation axes, respectively, a charging module (5) for regulating generated electrical energy, a lithium-ion battery 15 (6) for energy storage, and a battery management system (7) for battery protection. The microcontroller (3) continuously compares light intensity values received from the LDR sensors (2) and actuates the horizontal servo motor (8) and the vertical servo motor (9) to maintain optimal alignment of the solar panel (4) with the sun. Electrical energy generated by the solar panel (4) is regulated by the charging module (5) and 20 stored in the lithium-ion battery (6) under the supervision of the battery management 25 system (7) for EV charging and other power applications. The dual-axis tracking frame (1) is fabricated using lightweight 3D-printing technology and is structurally validated through finite element analysis. The invention provides improved solar energy utilization, enhanced charging efficiency, low-cost implementation, rapid tracking response, and reliable operation for renewable-energy-powered charging systems.
