Abstract
Solar energy has generated interest as one of the main sources of sustainable and renewable forms of energy due to its limitless existence and environmentally friendly nature. In this context, Solar panels can be used to convert solar energy to electricity. Solar panels or modules are directed towards the sun by trackers. To maximize energy capture, these devices adjust their orientation during the day to follow the sun's path. Solar trackers can increase the amount of electricity produced. As the sun moves across the sky, the modules may be continuously adjusted to the optimal angle, increasing the conversion efficiency of any solar application. Also, making the conversion process more efficient will be the key to lowering the cost of producing electricity from sunlight. The development of a sun tracking system using Arduino is demonstrated in this work, allowing solar panels to be moved in the direction of the greatest incident sunlight. As a result, we'll get a system that is more efficient, compact, reasonably priced, and easy to operate.
