Arduino Solar Panel Tracker

In this project we are going to show you how to make an arduino based solar tracker using ldr servo motor.

Arduino solar panel tracker. 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. We hope you found this project useful. Pin de la fotoresistencia right int delaypot 4. A solar tracker is a device that orient photovoltaic array toward the sun.

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. 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 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.

Hi thank you very much for the idea. Updated servo controlled light tracking solar panel platform. This increases the amount of energy produced by the photovoltaic array. Según el montaje se puede modificar must be modified according to the assembly include include la libreria servo h servo horizontal.

The pwm inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of arduino. Dual axis solar trackers uses the motor to move the solar panel in all four directions north south east west. The solar tracker can be controlled automatically with the help of lightdependent resistor ldr sensors or manually using a potentiometer. Use an arduino two small servo motors with light sensing photo resistors to steer a solar panel towards the sun.

Drop a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. We have designed a single axis solar tracking system. In flat panel photovoltaic pv applications trackers are used to minimize the angle of incidence between the incoming light and a photovoltaic panel. There are basically two types of arduino sun trackers.

The circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully. Pin del potenciometro 10k para la. One of them is the single axis solar tracker and the other is dual axis. Single axis solar tracking system moves the solar panel from east to west in a day to point in the direction of the sun.

Now you can use this project to track the solar panel and increase its efficiency by 40. Pin de la fotoresistencia left int ldrr 2. Se nombra el servo horizontal int ldrl 1.
