Abstract

The rising global energy demand, fueled by population expansion and improved living conditions, underscores the urgent need to transition from diminishing fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Solar power, being an abundant and eco-friendly alternative, offers a promising solution. This study introduces a solar energy tracking system designed to enhance electricity generation by continuously adjusting its orientation to follow the sun. The system integrates four essential components: a solar panel, light-dependent resistors (LDRs), an Arduino microcontroller, and a motor. The LDRs sense variations in sunlight intensity, prompting the Arduino to activate the motor, ensuring optimal panel alignment for maximum energy absorption. This dynamic system not only boosts power efficiency but also serves as an educational resource for engineering students, offering practical insights into renewable energy technologies. By optimizing solar energy utilization, this project supports sus
