  Non Electrical Solar Panels Tracker

Inspiration

We aimed to create a sustainable solar tracker that maximizes energy collection without using electricity.

What it does

The tracker uses gravity-based mechanics to adjust the solar panel’s angle throughout the day, aligning it with the sun.

How we built it

We used pivot arms, counterweights, and a central pivot to allow natural sun tracking and automatic reset in the morning.

Challenges

Balancing the panel weight and counterweights for smooth tracking and reliable resetting was difficult.

Accomplishments

We achieved a fully mechanical solar tracker that’s eco-friendly and suitable for off-grid use.

What we learned

We learned about optimizing mechanical systems for solar tracking without electrical components.

What's next

We plan to refine the design for improved stability and explore materials to enhance durability.
