Solar Tracker In Action

[jdflyback]

are the solar cells connected to the bases of the transistors and is the motor connected to the normally closed terminals on the relay?

I like the roughness, it is the baby of fine craftsmanship.

Hi very nice setup!

Were did you buy the parts for the elektronik?

@TheArchenoha Mostly I de-soldered the parts of old electronics, strip board and BC547's were from maplins

Very nice!

Is this a "universal axis" type solar tracker? (where the axis is parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation).

Here's a video you'd probably find interesting:

I thought it was a very promising design, and probably easier to automate too.

@yellowmetalcyborg  I'm going to have four blocks so I can adjust the tilt for the seasons.
