Sun Tracking Solar Panel Electronics Hub

Tracking mounts come in two variations single axis mounts and dual axis mounts.

Sun tracking solar panel electronics hub.

At maximum the solar tracker is perpendicular to the light source. Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board. The solar tracker can move unexpectedly and the powerful linear actuator motor can cause serious injury or death.

Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller. Always disconnect the solar tracker electronics from its power supply before approaching the solar tracker. Introduction as the non renewable energy resources are decreasing use of renewable resources for producing electricity is increasing.

In this project we will see a simple sun tracking solar panel circuit which will track the sun and position the solar panels accordingly. We have already read. Solar panels are becoming more popular day by day. Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them.

Tracking mounts utilize technology that changes the angle of your panels to coincide with the direction of the sun. The purpose of a solar tracker is to accurately determine the position of the sun. Dual axis mounts track both north and south and east and west to account for the ever changing position of the sun during different seasons. The built system has a calculated annual energy gain of 48 982 compared to an immobile solar panel.
