AUTOMATIC SOLAR TRACKER

Solar Trackers are devices which will automatically orient in the direction of high intensity sunlight to effectively harness maximum solar power. In this course, you will develop an Automatic Solar Tracker using a solar panel, light-dependent resistor (LDR) and DC Motors based on Arduino platform. When the sun moves, the LDR sensor senses a reduction in light intensity forcing the DC Motors to adjust solar panel accordingly in the direction of high intensity. When compared to a fixed solar panel, this tracking system produces 40% more energy!

Course Highlights


  • Learn how automatic solar panel tracking works
  • Work with photoresistor sensors and DC motors
  • Get hands-on experience on Arduino development and programming
  • Write programming logic for working of the solar tracker
  • Build the solar tracker chassis and assemble sensors, motors, Arduino board
  • Test solar tracker to automatically follow the direction of highest light intensity
