In this paper a Maximum Power point (MPP) tracking system is developed using dual-axis DC motor feedback tracking control system. An efficient and accurate DC motor system is used to increase the system efficiency and reduces the solar cell system coast. The suggested automated DC motor control system based on the photovoltaic ( PV ) modules operated with the μ-microcontroller. This servo system will track the sun rays in order to get MPP during the day using direct radiation. A photometric cell is used to sensor the direct sun radiation and to feed a signal to the μ microcontroller and then select the DC motor mechanism to deliver optimum energy. The proposed system is demonstrated through simulation results. Finally, using the proposed system based on microcontroller, the system will be more efficient, minimum cost, and maximum power transfer is obtained.
