Sun Tracking Solar Panel Electronics Hub

Tracking mounts utilize technology that changes the angle of your panels to coincide with the direction of the sun.

Sun tracking solar panel electronics hub.

In this project we will see a simple sun tracking solar panel circuit which will track the sun and position the solar panels accordingly. Compared to a single axis tracker the dual axis tracker has an annual energy gain of 36 504. 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. Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them.

Never approach a solar tracker while the solar tracker electronics are on. The solar tracker can move unexpectedly and the powerful linear actuator motor can cause serious injury or death. The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller. The built system has a calculated annual energy gain of 48 982 compared to an immobile solar panel.

Always disconnect the solar tracker electronics from its power supply before approaching the solar tracker. We have already read. Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. At maximum the solar tracker is perpendicular to the light source.

In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. Tracking mounts come in two variations single axis mounts and dual axis mounts. Let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board. Solar panels are becoming more popular day by day.
