MANUAL OR GRAVITY-BASED SOLAR TRACKER
The demand for sustainable and renewable energy solutions is rapidly increasing due to rising energy needs and environmental concerns.Solar energy stands out as one of the most reliable and eco-friendly sources.However, the efficiency of solar panels significantly depends on their orientation towards the sun.To address this issue, our project titled "Manual or Gravity-Based Solar Tracker" aims to develop a simple, low-cost mechanism to enhance solar panel efficiency by maintaining optimal alignment.This project explores.The gravity-based design uses the natural force of gravity combined with a time-based weight shifting system to move the panel in the direction of the sun, ensuring consistent exposure.The model was designed using basic mechanical components and fabricated using locally available materials.This project demonstrates how simple mechanical innovations can improve renewable energy efficiency while.
