Automatic Rotating Solar Panel

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.

Automatic rotating solar panel.

We designed and built a system to automatically orient a solar panel for maximum efficiency record data and safely charge batteries. Created by jason wright jpw97 and jeremy blum jeb373 for cornell university s ece4760 course. The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller. Tracking systems move the panels throughout the day in order to keep them facing the sun.

Automatic sun tracking solar panel and data analytics. My tracker controller got water in it so i m just rotating it in the morning and at lunchtime. Principle of sun tracking solar panel. Rotating solar panels are getting a lot of media attention lately and at first glance they seem to have some benefits.

So solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of sun. I have built a diy solar tracker using a truck differential with steel and concrete foundations.
