Fabrication and Characterization of a Low-Cost Piezoelectric using Rochelle
Salt for Energy Harvesting and Sensor Applications

electronics and motor used in tracking was minimal, measured at
only 0.015 W per hour, amounting to 0.4 W in the mini system, as
shown in Figure 48. Even after accounting for this consumption,
the net savings remain significant at 2.02 W.

RESULTS

Design and experimental evaluation of solar tracker based on
smart flower PV Panels System proves to be a noteworthy
enhancement in power efficiency and automation in the solar
system technology. By using the solar tracking mechanism, the
power lost by conventional panels is captured and an increase in
energy of approximately 18% is registered compared to the
conventional static system that makes the system perfect for all
purpose scale applications. The arrangement of suitable materials,
durable and efficient mechanisms, like the Nano, and new design
structures, guarantees reliability. Moreover, effective wind gust
safety methods and construction highlight adaptability of the
system in real world ecological situations. The Bio mimicking
method is far more effective in its efficiency, and most of the other
methods are more effective as compared to ours due to the
sophisticated nature of their built-in. Since we do not possess this
technology that can be used in our local areas, our efficiency is
lower than theirs. However, it has to be noted that the novel idea
of the wind shear safety of our system stands way ahead, if
compared to others. As compared to conventional system, 18%
more efficiency can be achieved.

CONCLUSION

This sunflower-inspired solar tracking system combines
biomimicry with modern engineering to achieve 18% higher
energy capture than conventional panels. Using LDR sensors and
Arduino Nano controllers, the system dynamically follows the sun
while wind safety features ensure durability. Its modular design
provides a scalable, aesthetically appealing solution for renewable
