Abstract
The paper we present, aims to analyse the performance of microcontroller based different tracking modules as solar energy harness techniques. For testing purpose high precision, low cost, table-top solar positioning devices were made. This paper includes assessment of microcontroller based closed loop type single axis tracker with the angle regulation range of 0–180° from east to west and returning from west to the east and double axis tracker with angle limit of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis between 180° and 90° respectively.
