This is a set of models which house a 4 ldr sensor system common on solar trackers.

This is designed to utilise the taller of the two domes from this product: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B4HG3KLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

The LDR's are mounted to the sun shield. This is then slotted into the main base plate, which in turn has the weather shield slotted over the top.

The assembly then slots into a modified clamp from @hien (clamp!) and mounted to the edge of the solar panel with the ldr cables run down behind the panel to the control box (not included).

This was part of a small nema17 driven dual axis solar panel tracker system that unfortunately will never be released since a loss of the models mean only a working prototype exists, for which this ldr mount model is built to compliment.

However, this set of models could be utilised with any ldr based solar tracker project and thus can be used seperately without the other parts of my project.

Update: added a further sun shield model to hold AZ Delivery ldr boards instead of just the sensor.
