Solar tracker circuit design course, in this course provides a comprehensive guide to creating circuits that optimize solar panel positioning for maximum energy efficiency. Solar tracker circuits allow solar panels to follow the sun's path, improving energy capture by adjusting the panel’s angle in response to sunlight. In this course, you'll learn the core principles of solar tracking, explore different types of trackers (such as single-axis and dual-axis), and understand the components needed to build effective tracking systems, including light-dependent resistors (LDRs), sensors, motors, and control circuits. We’ll cover design considerations for enhancing accuracy, response time, and durability under varying environmental conditions. Hands-on modules guide you through building and testing basic to advanced circuits, troubleshooting common issues, and optimizing for different applications, from small DIY setups to larger solar installations. By the end, you’ll have the skills to design, assemble, and fine-tune solar tracker circuits, making solar systems more effective and capable of generating maximum energy throughout the day. This course is ideal for those interested in renewable energy and electronic design.
