Self Powered Solar Tracking System

Solar energy is the least polluting and most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. The sun bathers the earth with more energy each minute then the world consumes in one year. In Malaysia, the sun intensity does not vary by season. It is a suitable place to develop the solar cell s...
