Abstract

Nowadays with the rapidly evolving technology, the need for sustainable and clean energy has become evident due to the inadequacy of existing resources or the damage caused by these resources. It is
aimed by all countries that the minimum effect of these resources on the environment and maximum efficiency. This situation makes renewable energy sources valuable and this study, a solar tracking system was designed and prototyped in servo motor control with the help of photoresistors which will serve as a sensor to increase the energy capacities produced by solar panels.
