The rotating solar panel using arduino project aims at charging a 12vdc battery with the help of a solar panel mounted on platform which can rotate with the help of a motor.
Rotate solar panel mechanism.
Very easy to make using only 4 piec.
This motor is getting controlled by atmega328 microcontroller mounted on an arduino uno board which is in turn mounted on the pcb.
Track the sun with a homemade swiveling platform.
Rotating panels may be able to increase a system s energy output but properly installed fixed tilt panels can provide the same level of output in most situations.
Currently says parks even the more inexpensive solar panels still prove too costly for most families and the majority of panels are welded to the roofs of homes to deter theft.
A comparison has been made on a conventional solar follower plant and trucking system.
