dc.description.abstract In this project a single axis solar tracking system has been developed by which more energy from the sun can be harnessed. In this project, an Arduino Uno, which is an Atmel microcontroller-based board, has been used as the main controlling unit. To detect the position of the sun on the sky, two LDRs have been used and to rotate the orientation of the Solar PV panel a servo motor has been used.The sensors and servo motor have properly been interfaced with the Arduino board. The servo motor has been mechanically coupled with the PV panel. The driving program has been written using the Arduino IDE. The whole system has been assembled together and its performance has been tested. This tracker changes the direction of the solar panel based on the direction of the sun facing to the panel successfully. Single axis solar tracker tracks the sun on daily basis and makes the solar panel more efficient. en_US
