Circuit diagram of dual axis solar tracking system using arduino.
Circuit of solar tracking system.
1 shows the circuit of the solar tracking system.
The circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully.
One of them is the single axis solar tracker and the other is dual axis.
Circuit diagram and explanation.
In this arduino solar panel tracker arduino is powered by the 9v battery and all the other parts are powered by the arduino.
We have designed a single axis solar tracking system.
Solar tracker using arduino.
The use of a solar.
Single axis solar tracking system moves the solar panel from east to west in a day to point in the direction of the sun.
In this solar tracker project we will design a simplest single axis solar tracker and its concept can be expanded to make a full fledged dual axis solar tracker.
In this system the whole solar panel moves from east to west in a day to point in the direction of the sun.
The pwm inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of arduino.
Four ldrs and four 100kω resistors are connected in a voltage divider fashion and the output is given to 4 analog input pins of arduino.
Solar tracking system circuit fig.
Arduino recommended input voltage is from 7 to 12 volts but you can power it within the range of 6 to 20 volts which is the limit.
The heart of the above circuit is two voltage comparators made using lm358 dual op amp.
The solar panel tracker is designed to follow the sun movement so that maximum light intensity hits on the solar panel thus increasing the power efficiency.

We all know that when the intensity of light falling on a ldr increases its resistance decreases.
Similarly connect the gnd pin from the arduino to a second lower horizontal row of the breadboard.
Interfacing dual axis solar tracker arduino project using ldr servo motors connect 5volt pin from the arduino to the lower horizontal row of the breadboard.
