Automatic Rotating Solar Panel

The sun tracking solar panel consists of two ldrs solar panel and a servo motor and atmega328 micro controller.

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

My tracker controller got water in it so i m just rotating it in the morning and at lunchtime. 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. So solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of sun. We designed and built a system to automatically orient a solar panel for maximum efficiency record data and safely charge batteries.

The panels were in the same position fixed for a year and the difference of being able to rotate the array is massive. I have built a diy solar tracker using a truck differential with steel and concrete foundations.
