Solar energy is gaining importance day by day as an energy resource. By sun tracking we can increase the electric energy of solar panel. When the solar panel is perpendicular to the sun’s rays it receives more sunlight. This paper about follow the sunlight direction across the sky by using a DC motor(satellite motor), the LM324 IC control the movement of DC motor by this the solar panel will change their position, solar panel detects the sunlight using four light dependent resistors (LDRs). The objective is to design and implement an automatic solar-tracking mechanism using an embedded system design with minimum cost and reliable structure. The results presented in this review confirm that the azimuth and altitude dual axis tracking system is more efficient compared to other tracking systems.
