Abstract: Sun is very important part of our life and hence Sun is become very abundant source of power. Even so, only a fraction of the entire energy is harnessed and that too not efficiently. The world population is increasing day by day and the demand for energy is increasing accordingly. Since oil and coal are getting depleted and it cannot be replenished, we opt for an alternative source of energy. Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. Renewable energies are inexhaustible and clean. The energy comes from natural resources such as sun, wind, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly by the sun. This project aims at the development of a simple process to track the sun and attain maximum efficiency using Microcontroller and Lab VIEW for real time monitoring
