    Sun based energy is quick turning into an essential methods for sustainable power source asset. With sun tracking, it turns into possible to generate greater energy since the solar panel can maintain a perpendicular profile to the rays of the sun. This project discusses the design and construction of a prototype used for solar tracking that has a dual axis of freedom. The highlighted innovation of this project is that it works on dual axis of rotation but all the previous work done in Pakistan was on fixed axis. The initial cost of putting in place the tracking gadget is considerably excessive, there are less expensive choices that have been proposed after some time. The use of a highly portable, efficient solar tracker can be very useful to applications of the military, industrial, or residential variety. The tracker effectively tracks the sun and changes its position likewise to amplify the power yield. The design of a tracking system consists of sensors, microcontroller operated control circuits to drive Direct Current (DC) motors and gear- bearing arrangements with supports and mountings. Two equipped DC motors are utilized to move the sunlight based board or also named as solar panel so sun's bar can stay lined up with the solar panel.
