The energy crisis has become a major issue in the world developing country, like India. The Energy crisis has shocked India. Nearly 13% of the Indian population has no Electricity and the Rest 87 % of the population is facing energy cutoffs because of coal shortage. India generates about 70% of its total power from thermal power plants by burning coal. The coal shortage has led to the energy crisis in India. Renewable energy is the only answer to solve this issue. Solar energy is one of the most effective resources of renewable energy which could play a significant role to solve this crisis. This research presents a performance analysis of the dual-axis solar tracking system using Arduino. The main objective of this research is whether a static solar panel is better than a solar tracker or not. This work is divided into two parts hardware and software system. In the hardware part, four light dependent resistors (LDR) is used to detect the utmost light source from the sun. Two gear motors are conjointly used to move the solar panel to the maximum light source location perceived by the LDRs. In the software part, the code is written using C programming language and has targeted the Arduino UNO controller. The outcome of the solar tracker system has been analyzed and compared with the fixed or static solar panel found better performance in terms of voltage, current, and power. Therefore, the solar tracker is proved more practical for capturing the maximum sunlight supply for star harvesting applications. The result showed dual-axis solar tracking system produced extra 10.53-watt power compared with a fixed and single axis solar tracking system.
