Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board.
Block diagram of solar tracking system using arduino.
Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array.
As such it is vital that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area.
In this arduino solar panel tracker arduino is powered by the 9v battery and all the other parts are powered by the arduino.
In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.
Schematic of the arduino solar tracker circuit as you can see in the schematic all that you need to make the electrical part is the board one servo 2 ldrs and 2 x 10k resistors.
Circuit diagram and explanation.
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.
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.
Since solar energy is renewable it is a good power source especially for developing countries.
We have designed a single axis solar tracking system.
Our project will include the design and construction of a microcontroller based solar panel tracking system.
In this project i am going to show you how to make a solar tracker using arduino nano.
Try to power it within the recommended input voltage.
Usually the servo has a yellow wire that is used to control the rotation and it must be connected on pin 9 on the board.
Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting.
