Solar Tracker

By Emanuele Signoretta on February 15, 2022

A Solar tracker was created in order to focus solar panels perpendicular to incoming sunlight. This position of the solar panel is optimal for photovoltaic energy generation. The efficiency of the Solar Tracking system vs normal use of solar panels was compared using data collected by my Arduino Power Logger (See details of Power logger in one of my other projects).
