How Solar Panels Track The Sun

Nasa scientists study the solar cycle so we can better predict solar activity.

How solar panels track the sun.

Check out this video of a system designed by arizona man mike davis to have solar panels follow the sun across the sky. Solar cycle 25 is underway and scientists are eager for another chance to put their understanding of solar cycle signs to the test. Diy solar panels that track the sun. Sunspot number over the past five solar cycles.

The dark spots are associated with solar activity often as the origins for giant explosions such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections which can spew light energy and solar material out into space. The principle on which these work is that their resistance decreases as the light intensity increases. Since we want to be able to track the sun we need some form of light detector. Scientists use several indicators to track solar cycle progress.
