MTM Scientific provides the Solar Tracker Circuit Kit that helps to build a circuit for solar trackers. This sun tracker circuit kit comprises all the essential electrical parts needed to operate a solar tracker. The parts included with the kit include a printed circuit board, IC comparator, two CdS photocells, four diodes, eight resistors, two DPDT relays, two limit switches and one instruction booklet.
Solar Tracker Circuit Kit
The Solar Tracker Circuit Kit identifies the sun at sunrise and follows its path during the day. When the sun rises the next day, this tracker circuit resets itself again to repeat the process. This solar tracker circuit, offered by MTM Scientific, is suitable to operate a single axis sun tracker. However, a 12V DC gear motor, which is not included in the kit, is needed to drive the solar tracker. The gear motor also provides power to the tracker circuit. The printed circuit board of this kit helps to assemble the circuit easily and do a quick test.
The instruction booklet, provided with the Solar Tracker Circuit Kit, gives explanations on the working of single axis sun tracking and tracker circuit. It also identifies how to choose the DC gear motor. The power specifications of this solar tracker circuit are 12V DC supply and 3A maximum motor current. With the Solar Tracker Circuit Kit, one can build a single axis solar tracker in very less time.
