Abstract - The energy that never goes out of style is solar energy that is readily available and produces no pollution; its use has increased over the years. It is an endless supply of energy. Optimising solar radiation absorption for power generation is still a major challenge. A solar panel's best position for collecting sunlight is orthogonal to the trajectory of the sun's rays, but throughout time, the sun's rays direction varies. Even though a solar tracking system does a good job of recording the sun's motion during the day, it suffers when adverse weather conditions cause the sun's intensity to decrease. A passive tracking system, which can handle such circumstances and yield better results, can therefore be employed to overcome them. The design and functionality of a solar tracking system are the topics of this research. By aligning the solar panel with the sun's position, which is grounded on a fluid medium, the suggested outcome offers the best possible conversion of solar energy into electrical power.
