Automatic Rotating Solar Panel

The panels were in the same position fixed for a year and the difference of being able to rotate the array is massive.

This article describes about circuit that rotates solar panel. Principle of sun tracking 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. So solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of sun.

My tracker controller got water in it so i m just rotating it in the morning and at lunchtime. Tracking systems move the panels throughout the day in order to keep them facing the sun. The longer they are aligned with the sun the more energy they can produce or at least that is the idea behind them. We designed and built a system to automatically orient a solar panel for maximum efficiency record data and safely charge batteries.
