Setup

I’ll talk about the two versions: simplified and full.

In the full version, the solar panels behave correctly. In a simplified version, the angles go into minus and at sunrise the panels lose a certain amount of energy due to incorrect behavior.

Install the daylight sensor outside on the wall (towards the sunrise) and connect it with a data cable.
For the system to work stably – use separate cables for energy and data. On the screenshot, I drew the data cable in white.

Full version

Important: Rename the same elements so as not to get confused in the logic settings.

Do not forget to install the area power control with a battery, preferably high-capacity. This is necessary in case of lack of energy, without it the system will stop working.
Connect the data cables of the logic elements and solar panels.

Logic setting

To work with logic elements, you will need a screwdriver.

Using the wheels listed in the screenshot below, set the memory to 15, 1.5 and 100. For fractional numbers, hold down the alt button.

Description of logic.

You need subtract from the angle of the sun 15 (0% = 15°), and then divide this value by 1.5.

1) At the input of the logic reader, we send data from the daylight sensor. Output – the angle of the sun (Solar Angle).
2) The result (angle) is sent to the first input of the logic math. The second input is the number 15 from the memory. The output is subtraction.
3) The result of subtraction is sent to the first input of the next logic math. The second input is the number 1.5 from another memory. The output is divide.
4) (Simple) The result of dividing is sent to the input of the batch writer. Specify the recording objects – solar panels. The resulting number is sent to set the angle of the panels. /End/

4) (Full) The result of subtraction is sent to the first input of the logic min/max. The second input is the number 100 from the memory. The output is less.

This is necessary to eliminate the bug, when at sunrise the panels start spinning like crazy.

5) The result sent to the input of the batch writer. Out type – solar panels. The resulting number is sent to set the angle of the panels (out var).

Turn on all the logical elements by clicking on the red light bulbs. If they change to green, then they working.

Now the solar panels will produce the maximum energy!
