Solar Tracker

[quium]

Hi
I am planning to built a solar tracker that contains a solar pannel; that tracks the sun.
I will be greatful if some one can provide me with codes, circuit diagram ideas or any related information
Many Thanks

A solar tracker idea that I have seen is this: two photo sensors with a vertical shield between them. One photo sensor will see sunlight, the other is shaded. A motor turns the sensors toward the lighted one until both see sunlight, then the motor stops.

You may be able to glean some ideas on your implementation from the efforts in designing a solar data logger by these students at Cornell.

Here is a link to a homebrewed solar tracker design. http://pages.prodigy.net/rich_demartile/

This is a site full of solar trackers, charge controllers, most anything solar energy. Lots of images, slow loading. Many links, most projects very detailed in explaination and construction.
