Hi, mysoltrk is completed, but it doesn't mean that we are not continuing to work on the project.

We are preparing for winter, so as to test the hardware even in adverse weather.

In the country where we live now it is autumn, and these days the rain is abundant:

In this (wet) photo you can see another prototype, built around three panels 6W 5V monocrystalline panels put in series to provide 15 volts.

We verified that after a heavy rain, the panel turned toward the sun on its own, a sign that the circuit is working and well protected.

The other thing we noticed is that the angle of the panel is lower than a month ago, a sign that the viewfinder and photoresistors are correctly following the sun and doing their job properly
