Arduino Solar Panel Tracking

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.

Arduino solar panel tracking.

In modern solar tracking systems the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves according to the position of the sun. The vertical and horizontal motion of the panel is obtained by taking altitude angle and azimuth angle as reference. Hi thank you very much for the idea. We have designed a single axis solar tracking system.

One is north south degree other is east west degree. Here is a list of the items which you need in order to complete this. Arduino solar tracker single or dual axis step 1. I adapt it for 2 ldr.

Pin de la fotoresistencia right int delaypot 4. The solar tracker can be controlled automatically with the help of lightdependent resistor ldr sensors or manually using a potentiometer. It rotates until panel looks towards to sun. What you will need for a solar tracker.

Help us in selecting the next diy arduino project. In this project we are going to show you how to make an arduino based solar tracker using ldr servo motor. Pin de la fotoresistencia left int ldrr 2. Según el montaje se puede modificar must be modified according to the assembly include include la libreria servo h servo horizontal.

Dual axis solar trackers uses the motor to move the solar panel in all four directions north south east west. 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 provide the supply the maximum power. Pin del potenciometro 10k para la. If analog levels are bigger then 5 points arduino nano gives command to servo motor to rotate 1 degree to e w or n s direction which ldr has lower level.

One of them is the single axis solar tracker and the other is dual axis. There are basically two types of arduino sun trackers. First you need to start by assembling the components onto your solar panel or. Se nombra el servo horizontal int ldrl 1.

System finds two value of degrees. Select your favourite project let us design a solar tracker using two servo motors a light sensor consisting of four ldrs and arduino uno board. Single axis solar tracking system moves the solar panel from east to west in a day to point in the direction of the sun. 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.
