Diy Solar Panel Auto Tracking System

For solar panels control is best to use small motors with a suitable voltage and a maximum working current of 300 ma.

Diy solar panel auto tracking system.

Check out my latest project. Simply connect a storage battery to the quick connect wires and charge your storage battery. It is a system which places the solar panels high on a structure and tracks them toward the sun all day a technology which provides dual axis tracking so the bifacial solar panels always face directly to the sun. In the center of a piece of plywood or plastic mount a 1inch x 12 inch dowel.

A servo connection a microcontroller two ldr sensors and a simple power management circuit. As dennis has designed it the apparatus consists of. The circuit itself is very trivial with only a few parts. Dual axis solar tracker kit with 2 pcs linear actuators 12v system 169 99 description eco worthy s dual axis controller can control the dual axis linear actuator to make the solar panel to follow the sunlight keep the solar panel always face the sunlight.

Production from a dual axis solar tracker will be at least 140 higher than roof mounted solar panels. Https youtu be yxqnydst9fw learn how to build this diy solar tracker by downloading the plans below. This solar tracker system is used for tracking the sun only in one plane the horizontal one. If you want to track the solar light in the vertical plane you need to build a separate sun tracker circuit.

It has a solar charge controller an affordable solar tracking component and an actuator to pivot the solar panel. A 50 watt solar panel was used but it can handle up to 100 watts with modifications to the design. Place the piece on the solar panel so that the dowel is in the exact center of the array and temporarily tape it in place.
