SimpleSolarTrackingSystem

Generally,solar panels are stationary and do not follow the movement of the sun. Here is a solartracker system that

driver IC L293D (IC2) and a few discrete components. Lightdependent resistors LDR1 through LDR4 are used as

sensors to detect the panels position relative to the sun. These provide the signal to motor driver IC2 to move the
solar panel in the suns direction. LDR1 and LDR2 are fixed at the edges of the solar panel along the X axis, and
connectedtocomparatorsA1andA2,respectively. Presets VR1 and VR2 are set to get low comparator output at pins 2
