Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of smart photovoltaic power source. It describes the principle of solar irradiation to energy transformation and influences on its effectiveness, as well as ways to achieve higher energy gain. Based on the operation of the control algorithm the microcontroller-controlled electronics is capable of providing optimal adjustment of the front surface of the panel towards the Sun. It is also capable of measuring the energy balance of the whole device. All individual electronic devices that was built as a products of this project are directly using or are based on Arduino development kit. This work also designs and implements solutions that provide visualization and storage of measured data. Evaluation of the benefit of smart power source in practical operation is performed on the basis of comparison with the measured data obtained from the photovoltaic panel with fixed position.
