This paper covers design and implementation of automated electromechanical drives for solar panels. It substantiates the need for using these devices when ensuring highly efficient generation of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES) is required and when human participation in the deployment of the device is impossible. The paper also considers the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of mobile solar power stations due to their automatic positioning during deployment and tracking the motion of the Sun in the sky through automatic control by the microcontroller-based electric drive directed by the incoming signals of the maximum irradiance tracking. The results of experimental tests of the developed microcontroller-based electromechanical drive are presented.
