In modern solar tracking systems, the solar panels are fixed on a structure that moves
according to the position of the sun.

The circuit design of solar tracker is simple but setting up the system must be done carefully.
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.
The PWM inputs of two servos are given from digital pins 9 and 10 of Arduino.
Working
LDRs are used as the main light sensors. Two servo motors are fixed to the structure that holds
the solar panel. The program for Arduino is uploaded to the microcontroller. The working of
the project is as follows.
LDRs sense the amount of sunlight falling on them. Four LDRs are divided into top, bottom, left
and right.
For east – west tracking, the analog values from two top LDRs and two bottom LDRs are
compared and if the top set of LDRs receive more light, the vertical servo will move in that
direction.

Page 3 of 37
Eskimi DSP
If the bottom LDRs receive more light, the servo moves in that direction.
For angular deflection of the solar panel, the analog values from two left LDRs and two right
LDRs are compared. If the left set of LDRs receive more light than the right set, the horizontal
servo will move in that direction.
If the right set of LDRs receive more light, the servo moves in that direction.
Setup
Step-1
Take cardboard. Make a hole in the middle and four holes on four sides so that LDR fit
into that.
Stick the solar panel to the cardboard and bring two wires of the panel out as shown.

Page 4 of 37
Step 2
Now cut one of the two leads of the LDR so that one lead is shorter and other is longer.
Insert these four LDRs into four holes as shown.
Bend the straight Perforated metal strip as shown below.
Place the bent metal strip on the back side of the cardboard
Apply glue to the LDR to fix them firmly.
Step 3
Solder the two leads of LDR as shown

To the other ends of LDR Solder resistors of 10k ohm
Join the four leads of the 4 LDRs by connecting with a wire.

Page 5 of 37
Step4
Now take a bus wire.This is used to connect the Outputs of four LDRs to Arduino board.
Insert it into metal strip as shown in the image.
Now Solder the four wires to four LDRs at any point between LDR and resistor.
Step 5
Insert another two wire bus into the perforated metal strip as shown.This is used for

Page 6 of 37
supplying Vcc and GND to LDR circuit.
Solder one wire to the leads of LDRs which are connected to resistors and other wire to
the other leads.
Short the leads of LDRs connected to resistors using a wire as shown.
Step 6
Now connect a servo motor to the Perforated metal strip using Screw.
Apply glue to the servo to fix it firmly.

Page 7 of 37
Step 7
Take another straight Perforated metal strip and bend it as shown in the figure.
Step 8
Now place the set up of solar panel and first servo motor to the metal strip of second
servo motor as shown.

JULY 4, 2017 AT 5:19 AM
How about using just two analog inputs? Place two LDR’s on adjacent sides of the solar
panels, not in the corners. One of the LDR’s works as a pull-up resistor and the other one
works as the pull-down resistor.
More thoroughly: connect 5V to the top side LDR, connect the other leg of the top side LDR
to analog pin A0, connect A0 further to the bottom side LDR. And the other leg of the
bottom side LDR to ground. Now, when the top gets more light, A0 voltage rises. When
panel twists upwards, the bottom LDR gets more light and A0 drops back to the middle
voltage. Similar connection for left and right and A1.
This setup might need additional resistors to assure that when the panel faces the sun and
both LDR’s get equally much light, the total resistance won’t drop too low to draw too
much current from the 5V. So you still need your 4 resistors, but you need only two analog
input ports and the programming might become easier.

Hi, You should use maximum limits for both sides (left and right) and restrict your servo
to rotate with in those limits.

For this code, are we supposed to put in any values? If yes, what should we put?

servov = servoverti.read();
Reply

Anusha says
JULY 12, 2017 AT 4:00 AM
Hi, By values, if you mean any user inputs, then we need to set the Servo motor limits
for both the servos. servoh = servohori.read();servov = servoverti.read(); This statement
returns the current position of the servo in the form of angle (between 0 and 180).

Hi there.
I am having difficulty externally powering the Ardiuno in this project. It seems to only work if
I use the USB connection to my computer, but for the final project, I was hoping to use a 9V
battery, I know the Ardiuno is equipped with a voltage regulator, so this shouldn’t be a
problem, but the servos act extremely weird when the power supply changes.
If anyone has ideas please let me know.

can anyone please elaborate steps 4 and 5?

Good work, Which kind of servo motors are used ?

What is the cost of this project?
