Efficiency Enhance By Implementing Sun Tracker Panel

Solar tracking is a system or mechanism that follows the light source direction. The system is using solar panel that automatically follows the direction of the light source. When the solar panel direction faces to the light source, the output always produces maximum power. This project is about a d...
