Developed by Lakshya in collaboration with Robokalam Institute, this project bridges academic engineering with practical, open-component hardware. We prove that a ₹20,000 closed-loop tracking system can unlock up to 40% more solar yield.
I developed this automated tracker to prove that high-efficiency solar harvesting doesn't require industrial scale. By combining LDR sensors with precise micro-controller logic, we created an accessible ₹20,000 prototype that optimizes yield in real time.
Every wire, code loop, and structural element was engineered to maximize torque and minimize power draw, establishing a reliable benchmark for open-component green technology.
Providing the strategic guidance, technical resources, and engineering mentorship required to transition a raw hardware concept into a fully calibrated solar tracking prototype.
Direct mentorship on micro-controller logic, dual-axis sensor calibration, and closed-loop tracking algorithms. This rigorous academic oversight ensured the system achieves maximum sunlight exposure throughout the daily solar cycle.
Strategic access to advanced testing equipment, structural prototyping hardware, and laboratory space. This collaborative environment allowed us to refine system durability against real-world environmental stressors.
Through this joint effort, we have successfully demonstrated that high-performance tracking logic can be implemented using accessible, cost-effective components.
