The circuit for this project is relatively simple. We will use two LDRs placed on either side of the solar panel to detect the sun's position. The Arduino will compare the readings from the two LDRs and adjust the servo motor to align the solar panel with the sun.
When the sun position is changing so does the illumination level on the LDRs and the input voltage for the window comparator is no longer half of the supply voltage thereby the output of the comparator generates informations for the motor that rotates the panels for tracking the sun. diy sun tracking sensor
