Arduino Intelligent Solar Tracking System

Product detailed description

Solar tracking system - educational kit.
Turn learning into a fascinating experiment with the smart solar tracking starter kit. This kit is designed for students, young engineers and renewable energy enthusiasts who want to understand how modern technology is making solar panels more efficient.

At the heart of the kit is a microprocessor board (Arduino compatible) that evaluates data from the light sensors in real time and uses servomotors to shoot the solar panel directly towards the sun.

What will you learn with this kit?

- Tracking algorithms: understand the logic that machines use to navigate in space based on external cues.
- Working with sensors: You will learn how to calibrate and read data from four photoresistors (LDRs).
- Motion Control: Master precise positioning in two axes (horizontal and vertical) using servomotors.
- Programming in C++: Deepen your knowledge in coding for the Arduino platform.

Main components of the kit:

- Control module: powerful board fully compatible with Arduino IDE environment.
- 4 x photoresistor (LDR) to detect the light intensity from each direction.
- 2x high quality microservo (SG90) for smooth and precise movement.
- Solar panel: A model of a solar cell for practical measurement of voltage versus angle of incidence of light.
- Construction.
- Connection cables, mounting material and USB cable for programming.

Technical Specifications:

- Power supply: via USB or external power supply.
- Arduino Uno, Mega and other compatible boards.
- Medium (ideal for developing fine motor skills and logical thinking).

The product is not a stand-alone functional unit, it requires professional installation.
