From the project

Edge-AI Dual-Axis Solar Tracker with Zero-Current Holding Protocol and IoT Telemetry

Solar tracking arrays maximize photovoltaic (PV) generation by ensuring the panel surface remains orthogonal to incident solar rays ($\theta \approx 0^\circ$). However, conventional active trackers suffer from two major flaws: 1. Cloud-Hunting Oscillation: Under overcast skies, analog differential sensors (LDRs) cause actuators to violently jitter, depleting battery reserves. 2. Parasitic Quiescent Power Drain: Continuous PWM servo holding current draws hundreds of milliamps even while the array is stationary.
