Zenith Angle Solar Tracker Kit with Arduino Uno - Maximize Solar Harvest with Dual-Axis Tracking

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

With this Zenith Angle Solar Tracker Kit, you assemble a sun-tracking platform using a quad LDR sensor array and two precise servos. It reads the sky's brightness, calculates the zenith angle, and continuously points a panel toward the maximum light. Whether you're simulating satellite solar panels for a school project or exploring renewable energy, this hands-on build unlocks the principles of solar tracking and closed-loop control.

What You'll Build

A fully functional dual-axis solar tracker that uses four light-dependent resistors to sense ambient brightness from multiple angles. The Arduino Uno reads these values, determines the direction of the brightest light, and commands two SG90 servos to tilt and pan a small solar panel or cardstock model. The 0.96-inch OLED displays real-time sensor data and servo positions, letting you monitor the tracking algorithm at work.

What You'll Learn

• Wiring LDR sensors in a voltage-divider configuration for directional light detection.
• Programming Arduino to read analog values and control servos with proportional algorithms.
• Calculating zenith angle and azimuth from LDR readings to optimize solar tracking.
• Displaying real-time sensor feedback and debugging data on an OLED screen.
