Is this a good idea for solar tracking system?

imohannad
imohannad over 8 years ago

I'm trying to make a project for a contest in my country which is limited by the cost and should be innovating.

And because we ran out of ideas I thought to make a solar tracker system with a little adjusment.

My idea is to make the same independent of sensor lights and continuous movement , but to make it update the module inclination every day / week(saving power) using the actual location of the module on the earth. i.e the user has to provide the module with the longitude and latitude and the module will do the rest.

 

What i want to know is ...  Is that a good idea? or .. is that even an idea? image

Sorry for bad english, it's not my native language.
