In this article, a prototype model of a solar tracker and an algorithm for its control based on the "Arduino Uno" platform are being developed. The purpose of this article is to study the subject area, create an autonomous solar tracker model and conduct a study on the production of solar panels. The introduction of a solar tracker is an affordable way to improve the efficiency of solar panels. The solar tracker can already be applied to an operating solar power plant, with a slight redesign of the structure on which solar panels are installed. The solar tracker increases electricity production to a greater extent in the morning and evening, the tracker directs the panels to the maximum flow of sunlight, making production uniform throughout the day. The article shows the results of the experiment and provides a comparative analysis of the production of solar panels. The design of the layout of the solar tracker was developed and the graphs of the dependence of the power of the solar panel on time were drawn up, the calculations of the power of the solar panel and were carried out. A solar tracker control system based on Arduino Uno has been developed. The yield of solar panels with a dual axis and single axis solar tracker is 59.4% and 43% compared to a solar panel installed at 45°.
