An automatic solar tracking system is an approach for optimizing the generation of solar power and modifying the angles and direction of a solar panel by considering changes in the position and path of the sun. This adjustment minimizes light reflection, allowing the panels to capture more solar energy. A smaller angle of incidence results in increased energy production by a solar PV panel. Unlike fixed-mount solar installations, these intelligent solar tracking solutions significantly increase energy capture by maintaining optimal sun-facing. . This paper introduces the design and development of an automatic solar tracking system aimed at optimizing the efficiency of solar energy collection. It discusses two primary types: single-axis and dual-axis trackers. Solar panels work most effectively when directly facing the sun, and this system adjusts the panel orientation throughout the day to. .
