Solar Tracking Test | This test shows the tracking motion of the solar sensors sensing the most light and turning the panels accordingly.









Shade Design Test | This video displays the testing of the shade design. The way this shader design works is by having the shade panel move until each photoresistor, the top, bottom, left and right one are all in the shade. Once they are all covered in the shade, the design knows that it is facing the direction of the most light.
