Abstract

We all know that sun provides a never-ending source of energy. This energy is called as Solar energy and it comes under the category of Renewable energy resources. Renewable energy resources are clean and non- polluting energy resources. Non-Renewable energy resources like the fossil fuels, oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear energy are not that much sustainable because they all take longer time for formation. Hence we expect more renewable energy resources and the device associated with these resources. The demand for solar cells or PV cells is increasing day by day. Solar cells convert solar energy into electrical energy. We can use this electrical energy according to our purpose of interest. The electrical power we obtained can be either in the  DC or AC form. The output of Solar cells is strictly DC. From previous researchers, it is seen that we can directly produce AC power from solar cells without any use of inverter by simply arranging the solar cells in a circular pattern over a spinning disc and alternately exposing them. Although it eliminates the cost of the inverter, the major problem arises in controlling the speed of this spinning disk.The type of material for making the circular arrangement also plays an important role in better efficiency. The voltage and power obtained from the previous researchers are also less. In this paper, we modify the arrangement with proper speed controlling circuit by using Arduino in our circuit. The voltage and power obtained from this arrangement are more and hence efficiency is increased. The sine wave obtained is also of less distortion.
