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.

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. Electronics computers technology. Since solar energy is renewable it is a good power source especially for developing countries. 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. 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. In this project i am going to show you how to make a solar tracker using arduino nano. 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.

In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four mini photocells and arduino uno board. I m a student in belgium. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun.

The code essential measures the light intensity from both photo resistors it then compares the two to see which is receiving more light. Here is the link to download the solar tracker code. I have a wide variety of interests. The dual axis solar tracker was designed as a project that integrated simple arduino programing and solar energy creation.
