Solar Tracker - Solar panel sunflower

thingiverse

This mount fits a particular solar panel and features spaces for four photo resistors at each corner. The goal is to replicate a solar tracker design found here, but for use with a solar panel, creating a sun-like appearance. Ideal for outdoor or off-grid projects; see my blog post for an example. I've also shared a OmniGraffle file explaining the design in Spanish. To assemble: 1. Drill holes for photoresistors using a 1mm bit, taking care not to melt plastic. 2. Place four photo resistors, ensuring ends don't touch. 3. Wire photo resistors according to the instructable link. 4. Position solar panel in center and feed the cable through a hole. For further details or updates on the project, feel free to contact me. As of February 13th, 2014, only the solar mount's 3D printing is complete; visit my blog for future progress.
