Here is a simple low cost solar tracker circuit which automatically moves the solar panel in the direction of sun.
Sun tracking solar panel using arduino block diagram.
Generally solar panels are stationary devices which is fixed at a position.
Cardboard 3 2 servo motors.
The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller.
4 4 light dependent resistors.
Principle of sun tracking solar panel.
Solar tracking system using arduino pratik pawar ashish yadav pritam makwana shubham patil abstract in this paper a solar tracking system using arduino is designed and built.
In this article we are going to make a sun tracking solar panel using arduino in which we will use two ldrs light dependent resistor to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sun light advantage of this project is that solar panel will always follow the sun light will always face towards the sun to get charge all the time and can.
This system collects free energy from the sun and stores it in the battery and then converts this energy to the respective alternating current.
It consists of only this components ldr module l293d motor driver.
It searches for the brightest light source like the sun.
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.
6 raspberry pi 3 model b keyboard.
A solar tracker is a device which tracks the position of the sun and alters the position of the solar panel to maximize the power output of the system.
So solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of sun.
Aim of the project.
Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board.
This article describes about circuit that rotates solar panel.
The aim of this solar tracker project is to keep the solar photovoltaic panel perpendicular to the sun throughout the year in order to make it more efficient.
Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform.
Components required 1 jumper wires.
The dual axis solar photovoltaic panel takes astronomical data as reference and the tracking system has the capability to always point the solar array toward the sun and can be installed in various regions with minor.
Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting.
Use of a solar tracker circuit in the field of energy production will increase its efficiency by almost 25.
The center top hole is for a fifth sensor to shut the system down if clouds block the sun so it doesn t try to point at the brightest cloud.
5 arduino arduino cable.
In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.
The two pieces glue together.
