Build Sun Tracker Solar Panels

Tom moates guide shows you how to build a manual solar tracker cheap rugged.

Build sun tracker solar panels.

Adjust the panel until the dowel has no shadow whatsoever around it and your solar panel is now facing head on into the sun. It was pretty easy to build. This is my home made solar panel sun tracker. The solar tracker itself can be built using many different mechanical kits including lego and knex but the servo used here has enough torque to allow the solar panels to be directly mounted to a panel which is then mounted to the servo.

My plan is to make several and have a ground mounted system at my. The pros say that in the winter. This web site shows how i did it. I had seen other solar panel tracking systems on the web based on antenna rotators.

Also we explored the benefits of panel mounts that track the sun. This means that the panels must be angled towards the sun for each season and throughout the day as the sun rises and sets to get the maximum input from the sun. Place the piece on the solar panel so that the dowel is in the exact center of the array and temporarily tape it in place.
