Abstract: Efficiency of any solar powered system reduces due to mismatch between the direction of the sun’s rays and axis of the solar panel. Aim of the proposed and implemented scheme is to increase the efficiency of such a system, by reorienting the plane of the solar panel orthogonal to the sun’s radiation by using a simple low powered system. To achieve this, the panel is moved about two axes after a certain interval of time depending upon the ambient light conditions.
