Arduino Solar Tracker Project — LDR Sun-Tracking Solar Panel with Servo (STEM / FYP)
A working Arduino solar tracker: LDR light sensors detect where the sun is and a servo turns the solar panel to face it for maximum power — a impressive, hands-on renewable-energy project that runs a fan from the energy it captures.
This project demonstrates one of the most important ideas in solar energy: a fixed panel wastes power, but a panel that tracks the sun captures far more. An Arduino Uno reads LDR sensors on each side of the panel, works out which way the light is brighter, and drives a servo motor to rotate the panel toward it. The captured energy runs a small DC motor with a fan, so you can see the result instantly.
