Automatic Rotating Solar Panel

Automatic sun tracking solar panel and data analytics.

Automatic rotating solar panel.

Tracking systems move the panels throughout the day in order to keep them facing the sun. Principle of sun tracking solar panel. So solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of sun. This article describes about circuit that rotates solar panel.

We designed and built a system to automatically orient a solar panel for maximum efficiency record data and safely charge batteries. I have built a diy solar tracker using a truck differential with steel and concrete foundations. The longer they are aligned with the sun the more energy they can produce or at least that is the idea behind them. Created by jason wright jpw97 and jeremy blum jeb373 for cornell university s ece4760 course.

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. Rotating solar panels are getting a lot of media attention lately and at first glance they seem to have some benefits.
