Abstract: This study presents intelligent re-calibration of mechanical and power electronic systems to carryout detection of the position of highest sunlight intensity; to intelligently repositioning of the solar panel to that direction for improved charge rate over short time ranges. The study also puts forward an additional feature being the deployment of IoT technology and internet communication protocols to achieve remote battery level monitoring and supply deactivation from an inverter driven by batteries to loads. The system was tested on two premises, the charge time for fixed panel as well as the charge time for sunlight position tracking panel. It was observed that the intelligent repositioning system offered significant reduction in the overall charge time. The battery level monitoring and power supply deactivation intelligence were tested and observed to offer improvements to the overall efficiency of the system.
