Abstract
This paper presents the performance analysis of dynamic systems using a solar tracker to improve solar panel efficiency. The majority of the solar panels are still static, which results in inferior solar energy receiving. to create a perpendicular angle between the solar panels and the direction of the sun^s rays to maximize the absorption of solar energy. By altering the time of the solar module, this research creates a prototype solar tracker that is capable of producing more energy overall than solar modules that are static. For automatic solar module storage, these prototypes used 2 light sensors, an actuator, and a controller. It is expected that by using this technology, solar energy usage can be maximized and a cost-effective electronic control system can be created.
