Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array.
Block diagram of solar tracking system using arduino.
Circuit diagram and explanation.
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.
Since solar energy is renewable it is a good power source especially for developing countries.
Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting.
We have designed a single axis solar tracking system.
In this project we are going to show you how to make an arduino based solar tracker using ldr servo motor.
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.
As such it is vital that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area.
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 recommended input voltage is from 7 to 12 volts but you can power it within the range of 6 to 20 volts which is the limit.
Try to power it within the recommended input voltage.
Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board.
In this arduino solar panel tracker arduino is powered by the 9v battery and all the other parts are powered by the arduino.
Solar energy is rapidly gaining notoriety as an important means of expanding renewable energy resources.
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.
