In the current world, energy production systems are becoming the outright necessity. On one side, non-renewable energy sources are depleting the world’s environment and becoming exhaustible over time. So there is profound need to have renewable energy sources at use. Solar energy, among other renewable energy resources, is propitious and ever-lasting energy source which can handle prolonged issues of energy crisis. There is also a basic necessity for having energy production system that provides transparency for end-users. This has resulted in uttermost necessity to have a prolific renewable energy system that provides supervisory viability to monitor the system. In this project, we propose beneficial methodology to draft a system that provides tracking solar panel which moves along the motion of the sun throughout the day. Transparency of this system is provided by implementing Internet of Things to monitor the system’s environmental status time to time online.
