@Carlyn3676 You are welcome :D the quick response is because I happen to be online at the moment. The Arduino community is unbelievable! Very helpful, very smart and very geeky! They'll be stoked to help you out on your project. arduino dot cc

@enticed2zeitgeist ; Thank You for the quick response and information. I'll have to work it out as you suggest.

@Carlyn3676 Research the Arduino and the vast array of plug and play sensors you can get for it. I could see it being quite easy. Somehow you'd connect a voltage sensor to the Arduino that allows it to calculate the difference between what the solar panels max output is (say 100w) and if the wattage isn't max then have it adjust a servo which will adjust the pitch of the mirrors and reflectors to boost the power to max. When the max power is reached the servo would stop.

I wonder if it would be best to mount the mirrors to tilt up from the bottom, in order to avoid blocking the Panel? Has anyone used tis method? I'd like to know how it would work.
Visit my channel-if you'd like other awesome ideas for other projects.

@enticed2zeitgeist
I wonder how One would go about doing that? I have a sun-tacker on my system already.

You are right there. Thanks I'll add one when I add the mirrors.

That is a very smart idea. Thanks.

That mirror will not double the power since is smaller than the panel.

Be careful.
Mirrors increase the total sunlight onto the panel, including that which is converted into heat. Hot panels lose efficiency and have a shortened lifespan.
Build a cooling system into the array and it might well be worth the effort.

It would be cool to have a system that monitors the power out put of the panel and if the power output is less than max (cloudy day, winter etc) then it would move mirrors into place to boost the power to full.
That same monitoring system could also be monitoring the temperature as well and could enable a cooling system or move the mirrors away until it's cooled down.
I'm sure any Arduino geek could pull this off quite easily.
