Self-Sustaining Solar Tracker

The following project was made as part of the Science 0 class 2018 in UTEC. We took the idea and the main design from another instructable but we added an extra feature to it.

We were given the task to build a project which followed one of the following characteristics; it could be an electric project, a mechanical project or a chemical project. With this in mind, we started searching for different projects and we encounter many which used solar panels. The idea of using solar energy caught our interest due to the fact it is an environmentally friendly way to generate energy and it could be implemented in a country like Peru in which infrastructure is not the best. So when we encounter the “simple dual axis solar panel” we realized it covered all the criteria we were looking for in our project.
Our goal was to add an extra feature to the instructable as an improvement.”
