Diy Solar Panel Auto Tracking System

If you want to track the solar light in the vertical plane you need to build a separate sun tracker circuit.

Diy solar panel auto tracking system.

It has a solar charge controller an affordable solar tracking component and an actuator to pivot the solar panel. The circuit itself is very trivial with only a few parts. A 50 watt solar panel was used but it can handle up to 100 watts with modifications to the design. Check out my latest project.

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. Adjust the panel until the dowel has no shadow whatsoever around it and your solar panel is now facing head on into the sun. The solar panel tracking system project has two main components. 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.

Https youtu be yxqnydst9fw learn how to build this diy solar tracker by downloading the plans below. Solar tracking amplifications and details mother s solar tracking mechanism essentially can be called a small and very slow vapor engine. For solar panels control is best to use small motors with a suitable voltage and a maximum working current of 300 ma. This solar tracker system is used for tracking the sun only in one plane the horizontal one.

In the center of a piece of plywood or plastic mount a 1inch x 12 inch dowel. 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. Simply connect a storage battery to the quick connect wires and charge your storage battery.
