Sun Tracking Solar Panel Electronics Hub

The purpose of a solar tracker is to accurately determine the position of the sun.

Sun tracking solar panel electronics hub.

Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting. We have already read. In this project we will see a simple sun tracking solar panel circuit which will track the sun and position the solar panels accordingly. The solar tracker can move unexpectedly and the powerful linear actuator motor can cause serious injury or death.

Never approach a solar tracker while the solar tracker electronics are on. The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller. In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. The built system has a calculated annual energy gain of 48 982 compared to an immobile solar panel.

Introduction as the non renewable energy resources are decreasing use of renewable resources for producing electricity is increasing. 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. Solar panels are becoming more popular day by day. 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. Tracking mounts utilize technology that changes the angle of your panels to coincide with the direction of the sun. At maximum the solar tracker is perpendicular to the light source. Compared to a single axis tracker the dual axis tracker has an annual energy gain of 36 504.
