In recent days, Utilization of renewable energy sources has become more and important due to endangering of non-renewable energy sources which may get extinct in future days. As the pollution increasing day by day, there is a need to switch from non-renewable to renewable energy sources. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy is abundant in nature. 17300 terawatts of solar energy strike the earth continuously which means 10000 times the world’s energy use. The main objective of this project is to make effective utilization of solar energy received by earth. This can be achieved by making the solar panel to rotate according to the position of sun. The main components of this project are Arduino, sensor and Stepper motors. The output signal is drawn to the Arduino in which it processed and gives the signal to the stepper motor which is fixed to the solar panel. Thus, the panel rotates, and more sun rays falls on the panel which in turn more power is generated.
