Re: two axis solar tracking system
hey guys its me again. can you tell me if the calculations bellow are right? my battery is 5Ah. which also means a 1A current will charge it in 5 hours. Now since my solar panel is 0.58A, the battery will take about 9.5hours to fully charge provided the solar panel outputs 0.58 for the whole 9 hours...

Re: two axis solar tracking system
Hi everyone, one more question... in my prototype, im using a 10W solar panel which weighs 1.5kg. how can i select the best stepper motor which would drive this without any problem? lets say the pivot is at the middle of the solar panel (dimensions: 36 x 31cm). my solar panel is charging a battery (...

hi yea im looking for an optical type of sensor. also im planing to use a microprocessor to run the algorithm to calculate the path, but only as a backup plan to the actual sensor. i.e. if it is too cloudy and sensor readings get unreliable, i might use the algorithm to calculate the path. (why dont...

two axis solar tracking system
hi all, i intend working on a prototype for a two axis solar tracking system. i purchased a small 10W, 12V, 1.58A, 1.5kg solar panel with dimensions: 31x36cm. All i want to do is move this in two axis to track the sun (both day and seasons) now my main problem is, how to build a simple sensor system...
