Arduino solar panel tracker.

A solar tracker is a device that orient photovoltaic array toward the sun. Hi thank you very much for the idea. Drop a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform.

Now you can use this project to track the solar panel and increase its efficiency by 40. I adapt it for 2 ldr. The proposed prototype is based on a dual axis solar tracker controlled with arduino uno which is an open source prototyping platform based on easy to use hardware and software. Four ldrs and four 100kω resistors are connected in a voltage divider fashion and the output is given to 4 analog input pins of arduino.

A single axis solar tracker improves solar output by around 25 and a dual axis tracker by around 40 according to this article on altestore. This solar tracker control system is designed to take light measurements from the east and west left and right side of the solar panel and determine which way to move the panel to point it directly at the source of the light. Finally we have completed interfacing dual axis solar tracker arduino project using ldr servo motors. The circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully.

The pwm inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of arduino. Pin de la fotoresistencia right int delaypot 4. Dual axis solar trackers uses the motor to move the solar panel in all four directions north south east west. In flat panel photovoltaic pv applications trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming light and a photovoltaic panel.

The solar tracker can be controlled automatically with the help of lightdependent resistor ldr sensors or manually using a potentiometer. We hope you found this project useful. Se nombra el servo horizontal int ldrl 1. One of them is the single axis solar tracker and the other is dual axis.

Pin del potenciometro 10k para la. This increases the amount of energy produced by the photovoltaic array. 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. This solar tracker control system is designed to take light measurements from the east and west left and right side of the solar panel and determine which way to move the panel to point it directly at the source of the light.

Use an arduino two small servo motors with light sensing photo resistors to steer a solar panel towards the sun. Single axis solar tracking system moves the solar panel from east to west in a day to point in the direction of the sun. Pin de la fotoresistencia left int ldrr 2.
