Alternative energy from sunlight has great potential in meeting energy needs in today's modern era. One technology that utilizes solar energy is solar panels (solar cells) which function to convert solar energy into electrical energy. However, most solar panels used are still static, only facing one direction so that energy absorption is only optimal at certain times, especially when the sun is directly in front of the panel. In this study, the design and construction of an automatic solar tracker system was carried out using an Arduino Nano ATmega328 microcontroller and an RTC (Real Time Clock) module as a time input. The solar panels are designed to move dynamically following the position of the sun from morning to evening in real-time. This system aims to increase the efficiency of solar energy absorption throughout the day. By using a time-based tracking design method, this system is able to maintain the position of the solar panels so that they are always perpendicular to the direction of the incoming sunlight. The expected results of this study are an increase in the output power produced by the panels and the overall system efficiency in utilizing solar energy as a renewable energy source.
