Solar Panel Angle Optimizer Kit with Arduino Uno + Servo
Solar Panel Angle Optimizer Kit – Discover the Perfect Tilt with Arduino Uno and Servo
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Solar panels produce maximum power when angled correctly. With this kit, you'll build a system that measures power at different tilt angles using an INA219 sensor and a servo, then finds the optimal position automatically.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a test rig with an INA219 current sensor and an Arduino Uno to measure voltage, current, and power of the included solar panel. An SG90 servo rotates the panel through various angles, while an OLED screen displays real-time power values. By the end, you'll have a working model demonstrating solar tracker principles.
What You'll Learn
- How to measure DC voltage, current, and calculate power with the INA219 sensor
- Programming an Arduino Uno to control a servo motor for precise angle positioning
- Using an OLED display to visualize sensor data in real time
- Understanding the relationship between solar irradiance, panel tilt, and power generation

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 9–12 students working on physics or computer science projects, this kit fits science exhibitions, ATL Tinkering Labs, and B.Tech ECE/EEE mini-projects. It's also suitable for Smart India Hackathon Jr. and educators needing a classroom-ready renewable energy experiment.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with our AI companion trained on this project, or message us on WhatsApp for human help.
Do I need to know coding to complete this project?
No prior coding experience is required. The AI companion provides ready-to-upload code and a visual guide that explains the logic step by step.
Can this kit be used for a school science exhibition?
Absolutely. The OLED displays real-time power readings, making it a compelling demonstration of solar tracking for CBSE or state-level science fairs.
Is the solar panel included, and can I use it indoors?
Yes, the 6V 2W solar panel is included. It works well under a bright desk lamp or direct sunlight, giving accurate comparative readings at different angles even indoors.
INA219 measures solar panel power at different tilt angles. Servo rotates panel to find optimum.
