Solar-powered quadcopters have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about aerial transportation and surveillance. These aircraft can potentially fly for extended periods of time without the need for external fuel, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. In this paper, we present a modeling and simulation approach for a solar-powered quadcopter using MATLAB. The model includes the quadcopter’s dynamics, solar panel power generation, and energy storage system. A PID control system for the solar-powered quadcopter simulation model was created using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation findings indicate that the solar-powered quadcopter can be accurately simulated and controlled with a PID controller.
