The article describes a sun-tracking system based on Arduino Nano, designed to optimize the output of a solar panel. It incorporates an INA219 sensor for current monitoring, two servo motors for dual-axis orientation, and four photoresistors for light detection. The system automatically adjusts the panel’s position, maximizing solar energy capture and enhancing energy efficiency.
