Solar Tracker System Circuit Schematic for Solar Panel Optimization

Eltronicschool. - To get optimize or maximum energy from the sun, the solar panel must optimize catch the sun light. In here we must need device that can automatically direct the solar panel to the sun to get maximum energy from the sun.

In here we will show you simple and easy circuit schematic for solar tracker system that used to optimize solar panel system energy. The circuit schematic like in figure 1 below.

Description 

To know about the work of the circuit schematic of solar tracker system above like in figure 1 are The solar tracker circuit uses a window comparator to maintain the motor in a idle state as long as the two LDRs are under the same illumination level. In this case, half the voltage is applied to the non-inverting input of U1A and to the inverting input of U1A.

When the sun position is changing so does the illumination level on the LDRs and the input voltage for the window comparator is no longer half of the supply voltage thereby the output of the comparator generates information for the motor that rotates the panels for tracking the sun.
