    Abstract
    This project aims to design and develop a mono-axis solar panel tracker that enhances the
    efficiency of solar energy capture. The tracker will be designed to optimize panel orientation
    along a single axis, providing a cost-effective solution for residential and small-scale commercial
    applications. The project will evaluate the performance of the tracker in various environmental
    conditions and compare its efficiency to fixed installations.

    Introduction
    Solar energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuels, but its efficiency is limited by the angle of
    incident sunlight. Fixed solar panel installations do not account for the sun's movement, resulting
    in significant energy losses. This project proposes a mono-axis solar panel tracker to enhance
    energy capture and provide a cost-effective solution.

    Motivation Behind Your Proposed Work


    The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources necessitates improving the efficiency of
    existing technologies. Solar tracking systems can increase energy output by up to 25% compared
    to fixed installations. This project aims to design a mono-axis tracker that is both cost-effective
    and straightforward to implement.

    Problem Statement
    Fixed solar panel installations suffer from reduced efficiency due to suboptimal orientation. The
    problem is to design a mono-axis tracker that optimizes panel orientation along a single axis,
    enhancing energy capture while minimizing costs.

    Literature Review
    Studies have shown that solar tracking systems can increase energy output by up to 30%
    compared to fixed installations. Mono-axis trackers offer a balanced trade-off between
    complexity, cost, and efficiency gains. Existing solutions have limitations in terms of cost,
    maintenance, and aesthetics.

    Background of the Work


    Solar energy is an abundant and clean source of renewable energy. However, fixed installations
    lose up to 40% of potential energy output due to suboptimal orientation. This project aims to
    address this issue by designing a mono-axis tracker that optimizes panel orientation.

    Conclusion
    In conclusion, this project proposes a mono-axis solar panel tracker that enhances the efficiency
    of solar energy capture. The tracker will be designed to optimize panel orientation along a single
    axis, providing a cost-effective solution for residential and small-scale commercial applications.
    The project's outcomes will contribute to the broader goal of making solar energy more viable
    and accessible.
