Abstract-
This project introduces an automated solar panel system designed to maximize energy efficiency through intelligent sun-tracking and innovative thermal energy utilization. The system integrates AI-powered control, a mechanical gear structure, and a dual-purpose cooling and energy recovery unit, forming a comprehensive solution for sustainable energy generation.
The project aims to solve overheating and fixed-axis of current solar panels which reduce their efficiency and life-span. It aims to use AI as an automation tool to streamline the cooling and dual-axis movement
