        abstract = {The single-axis solar power tracker system is an efficient and cost-effective solution designed to enhance the energy harvesting capabilities of solar panels. This system operates by aligning the solar panel perpendicular to the sun's rays throughout the day, maximizing solar energy absorption. Unlike fixed solar panels, which only capture optimal sunlight during specific times, the single-axis tracker adjusts the panel's orientation along a single rotational axis, typically following the sun's east-to-west movement.
The system employs sensors, such as light-dependent resistors (LDRs), or pre-programmed algorithms to detect sunlight intensity and control a motorized mechanism for panel adjustment. By increasing energy capture by 20-30% compared to fixed systems, the single-axis solar tracker offers a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. It is ideal for residential, agricultural, and industrial applications, contributing to sustainable energy production while reducing dependency on non-renewable resources. This project demonstrates the potential for innovative solar technology to meet growing energy demands with enhanced efficiency and affordability.},
