Solar Tracker Sensor Module
This Solar Tracker Sensor Module allows you to track the sun’s position and control a motor driver for a single axis.
The two photocells detect the difference in the light falling on them and generate a drive signal for a motor driver to keep the solar panel pointed at the sun. When the solar panel is perpendicular to the sun the motor driver will stop driving the motors.
The photocells should be mounted apart in the same axis as the movement desired.
