Overview

Create your own computer controller dual axis solar tracker in under and hour, using only a screw driver.

The sun is awesome, and so is solar electricåÊpower generation. åÊUnfortunatelyåÊfor solar panels, the sun moves. åÊTo counter this you can make a tracker that follows the sun and allows for even greater energy production.

This kitåÊincludesåÊtwo micro servos, four sensors, an Arduino Uno, custom Arduino Shield, custom sensor mount, custom laser cut wood, and a whole lot of screws. åÊBy popular request we designedåÊthis project to be non soldering, and all you'll need are some screw driver to build the body.

The kit also comes with a 6V 200mA solar cell and an LED Volt Meter. This allows for data collection on solar output.

Our Step by Step directions make building this project easy. We also provide you with the code to upload to the tracker. Modify our code or create your own.

We also offer the option of buying just the electronics or just the wooden body.åÊ
