Adaptive Solar Tracking & Smart Energy Management System for E.V

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and a need to implement sustainable energy solutions into transport increasing the connection between renewable energy systems. This paper aims to design and implement of an adaptive dual – axis solar tracking system integrated with smart energy management system for EV applications. This system is aimed to increase the generation of solar energy by adjusting photovoltaic panels dynamic towards the sun’s direction during daytime. Microcontroller based control mechanism using light dependent resistance (LDR) is applied for real-time tracking using DC motors and servo motors. This energy is stored in a lithium-ion battery and intelligently managed through the charging module. Furthermore, a real-time monitoring and safety system is included for reliability and fault detection. This showed a significantly higher energy efficiency than traditional solar panels. This solution is cost effective and environmental friendly as the dependency on conventional charging infrastructure is decreasing
