Abstract: In this paper, we presented how to extract maximum efficiency out of a solar panel using two combined techniques. The first one we have to implement is a micro-controller based solar-tracking system. The system checks the position of the sun and controls the movement of a solar panel so that radiation of the sun comes normally to the surface of the solar panel and the second is to install an MPPT charge controller which makes the inverter to work at maximum power point. so that under any climatic conditions maximum power is extracted. This way we make efficient use of both solar panel and solar-energy from sun.
