Course Description
making solar tracker course,
in this course you will learn to design and build an efficient solar tracking system that maximizes the energy capture of solar panels by adjusting their position based on the sun's movement. This course begins with an introduction to the principles of solar energy and the importance of tracking systems in enhancing solar efficiency. You will explore the mechanics of solar trackers, including single-axis and dual-axis designs, and the benefits of each.
The course will guide you through selecting the necessary components, such as solar panels, motors, light sensors, and microcontrollers. You will gain hands-on experience in wiring, assembling, and programming the tracking system to automatically follow the sun throughout the day. Key topics include sensor calibration, control algorithms, and the use of Arduino for programming the tracker’s logic.
