Abstracts: The use of a tracking system greatly improves the power gain from solar radiation. This background goes into further detail on the operation of solar cells and the reason tracking is needed. The previously used technology used for conversion of solar energy into electrical energy was a stationary solar system. It is still used at many places where tracking system is too costly to implement. Single axial systems are now widely used all over the world. In this technology, the panel rotates only on one axis throughout the day. At the end of the day, the position of the panel is reset. Our project focuses on this issue of Utilizing the solar energy received as efficiently as possible. For maximum energy reception, there is a necessity to rotate the angle of the solar panel both horizontally as well as vertically i.e. elevation and the azimuth angle respectively according to the position of the sun. We have designed the dual axis structure for the rotation of the solar panel where the close loop part of the project comes into the picture.
