Arduino Solar Tracker Kit

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.

Arduino solar tracker kit.

Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board. Here is the link to download the solar tracker code. Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. The code essential measures the light intensity from both photo resistors it then compares the two to see which is receiving more light.

Dfrduino uno r3 i o expansion shield for arduino df05bb tilt pan kit 5kg. There is currently one version of the kit available with an. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. 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 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. Electronics computers technology. I m a student in belgium. By geo bruce bruce is on fire follow.
