Abstract
Solar tracking has created a great trend in the field of producing renewable source of energy. In this paper we propose a two way solar tracking system which would increase the total efficiency, this involves tracking of the sun in dual axis. To accomplish this we have used two motors for the movement in two axis. This paper would imply that the use of the mentioned method would result in more power consumption, high operating cost.
