Arduino Solar Tracker Kit

I have a wide variety of interests.

Arduino solar tracker kit.

The kit uses an arduino uno an arduino sensor shield two 9g metal gear servos and four light detecting resistors to achieve active tracking in real time. In this project i am going to show you how to make a solar tracker using arduino nano. By geo bruce bruce is on fire follow. The dual axis solar tracker was designed as a project that integrated simple arduino programing and solar energy creation.

The solar panel tracker is designed to follow the sun movement so that maximum light intensity hits on the solar panel thus increasing the power efficiency. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four mini photocells and arduino uno board. More by the author. I m a student in belgium.

Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. Since solar energy is renewable it is a good power source especially for developing countries. Electronics computers technology. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.

Here is the link to download the solar tracker code. If the difference is greater than a small threshold then the arduino tells the servo to move in that direction to direct the panel towards the light source. The code essential measures the light intensity from both photo resistors it then compares the two to see which is receiving more light.
