In this article, a standalone solar tracking system is intended and successfully synchronized using proteus 7.6 ISIS. Best at instantly aligning a solar panel with the position of the sun, resulting in a 40% increase in efficiency. A low-cost solar tracking detector is being used to rotate the solar panel paired to the motor at such a specific angle to rotate 180°s in 8 steps per day with better accuracy. A microcontroller (Atmega3285P) is used as a control unit, and ADC ports are used to interconnect sensor units. To interconnect a solar array, the motor driver ULN 293D is also used to rotate the solar panel at the highest solar power angle. The modeling is performed in two ways, using four LDRs and eight LDRs, and the results of both are measured. The simulation and analysis results show that the maximum current drawn by the solar tracking sensor is less than 0.5 mA. “Proteus 7.6 ISIS” and “Arduino UNO” and “Code Vision AVR” are used to write the program code and to burn over Atmega3285P for parameters estimation.
