As you can see the circuit is very simple and can easily be built with help of a small breadboard.
Solar tracking system using arduino block diagram.
The pwm inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of arduino.
Dc motor 3 1 solar panel the solar panel works based on the principle of photovoltaic effect which converts the solar energy into electrical energy 10.
The dual axis tracker is a very compatible system to be developed with the usage of labview interface for arduino.
The circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully.
Figure 3 block diagram of output side of solar panel the major components which are used in dual axis solar tracking system are.
The methodology employed in this work includes the implementation of an arduino based solar tracking system.
The complete circuit diagram for the solar tracking arduino project is shown below.
Initialise all necessary inputs and outputs to zero.
In this arduino solar panel tracker arduino is powered by the 9v battery and all the other parts are powered by the arduino.
The paper continues with specific design methodologies pertaining to light dependent resistor ldr dc motors solar panel and a software.
Block diagram of overall system the electrical system consists of five ldr sensors which provide feedback to a micro controller.
This micro controller processes the sensor input and provides two pwm signals for the movement of servo motors.
Circuit diagram the circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully.

The pwm inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of arduino.
Block diagram of system this paper proposes the use of dual axis solar tracker.
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.
This solar tracker control system is designed to take light measurements from the east and west left and right side of the solar panel and determine which way to move the panel to point it directly at.
A single axis solar tracker improves solar output by around 25 and a dual axis tracker by around 40 according to this article on altestore.
