I've been building a solar tracker with a parabolic mirror to concentrate direct sunlight instead of turn it into electricity. Have a look and tell me what you think /watch?v=BAWLjqMiulo
do you have code for it? What kind of sensors are you using? Im also attempting the same thing as a hobby project. It would be nice to take a look how you've done it. Very nice work, btw!
maby have it charge a small battery, then when that's charged, have it charge your normal source, and have a analog comparator always running checking if the voltage is lower then a certain voltage, then if it does, it triggers a 555 timer that gives voltage to the base of a transistor that gives the arduino power from the small battery then the arduino adjusts to the solar coordinates and is positioned, cutting off power, and switching to the small battery charge, then the large battery

Fail.That would easily use more power then it gets. Servers take ahell of alot fo power. You would be better of youusing normal motors with very stiff gears and low gear ratios
This is more of a proof of concept for a sailboat mounted tracker. Obviously energy consumption is a big issue. Some things I'm planning: switching off supply power to servos when they're not in use, less aggressive tracking, lower supply voltage, etc...

I do sort of that in school like that.
but i do use two wooden boards and ontop, the solar plates

@aktechfreak theres already devices like that available from Adafruit.
