Educational Solar Tracking System


The Education Solar Tracking System is a portable, computerized demonstration model designed to show students one technique for collecting energy from the sun. It has a 6 watt photovoltaic panel mounted on a motor controlled single axis base and has the ability to move about 140 degrees. A computer controls the position of the panel as the sun moves across the sky by monitor power produced from the panel.
