The solar energy is fast becoming a different means of electricity resource. Now in world Fossil fuels are seriously depleting thus the need for another energy source is a necessity. To create effective utilization of its solar, energy efficiency must be maximized. An attainable way to deal with amplifying the power output of sun-powered exhibit is by sun tracking. This paper presents the control system for a solar cell orientation device which follows the sun in real time during daytime. 1. INTRODUCTION The global warming problem has at present drawn worldwide public consideration to issues connected to energy preservation and alternate energy. A few energy preservation strategies, for example, energy, reusing and energy collecting procedures, have been proposed to lessen pointless vitality squander from commercial apparatus. What's more, elective energy, for example, wind, warm or sunlight based energy is renewable and addresses pollution issues. The solar energy introduces the benefits of low cost and contamination free qualities [1]. These are keys to comprehending compounding a global calamity crisis and decreasing ozone harming substance emanations. Along these lines, this renewable energy has been increasing expanding prevalence in various nations. Solar based energy in future to may be the most proficient decision as to energy generation. However, despite everything it exceeds different sorts of energy, for example coal, atomic, and gas, energy, since it causes zero contamination, and takes into consideration simple upkeep. In fossil fuel reserves day by day is very depleting and Price of fossil fuels is increasing very fast. This energy is very affected for our health, air population, environment, emission of the greenhouse [2]. So in the future, need several thoughts for electric energy. Some researchers they are getting alternative way for clean energy development. They are getting renewable energy (solar energy, wind energy, bio-mass energy) sources. So, solar energy is considered as one of the best renewable energy sources [3]. In solar energy the solar panel tracking system plays an important role in achieving maximum efficiency in solar power generation [4]. The sun tracker controls for solar cell systems plays an important role in achieving maximum efficiency in solar power generation [5]. The sun tracking systems needs an efficient controller and a stepper motor to maximize the power output from the solar panels. This Sun tracker control of solar cell systems, the process is occupied superior-intensity power [6]. The Sun-tracking system plays an important role in the development of solar energy applications, especially for the high solar concentration systems that directly convert the solar
