This paper presents the design and construction of an intelligent Arduino Based solar tracking system using Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) and Servo-motor for tracking the movement of the sun so as to get maximum power from the solar panels as they follow the sun. Using a GPS module and magnetometer, the HelioWatcher allows the user to place the system anywhere in the world without any calibration. The primary objective of the system is to maximize the efficiency of a solar panel by ensuring it remains aligned with the light source, typically the sun. Solar energy has become one of the most reliable, cost-effective, and widely used renewable energy sources in modern power generation. However, the actual power output of a solar panel greatly depends on how much sunlight it receives throughout the day. In this study, we propose an automatic.
