Solar Tracker Project Using Arduino

In this article we will learn how to make Solar Tracker Project Using Arduino.

In the last post we will learn how to make Explorer Hat for Raspberry Pi. You can visit our website,
I hope you appreciate my work, let’s discuss about today’s project.

 

 

Components:

  1. Arduino Nano
  2. Servo motor
  3. Solar Panel
  4. LDR sensor (2)
  5. Resistor (10k)
  6. Jumper wires

Construction…

  • Connect –ve pin of Servo motor with GND pin of Arduino
  • Connect +ve pin of Servo motor with +5V pin of Arduino
  • Connect signal pin of Servo motor with D9 pin of Arduino
  • Connect one side of Both LDRs with +5V
  • Connect 2nd side of LDR1 with A2 pin of Arduino through one side of Resistor 10k
  • Connect 2nd side of resistor 10k with GND
  • Connect 2nd side of LDR2 with A3 pin of Arduino through one side of resistor 10k
  • Connect 2nd side of resistor 10k with GND

Working…

A solar tracker is a device that positions solar panels or mirrors towards the sun to maximize their exposure and energy output throughout the day. Using an Arduino in a solar tracker project allows for automation and precise control of the solar panel’s orientation.

Applications…

  1. Residential Use
  2. Agricultural Sector
  3. Research and Education
  4. Weather Stations
  5. Wildlife Monitoring Stations

Advantages…

  1. Increased Energy Efficiency
  2. Cost-effect
  3. Sustainability
  4. Versatility
  5. Educational
