    The electricity demand of Bangladesh has been increasing at an average pace of 10% over the last decade. There is still a scarcity of electricity in many rural areas of Bangladesh. A renewable-energy-based system will bring more benefits than conventional power. Solar energy is a renewable, free source of energy that is sustainable and also a non-polluting source of energy. Nowadays, solar power is being used to meet the shortfall of electricity. The paper considers an efficient intelligent solar tracking system to increase the efficiency of solar energy production. The purpose of the paper is to generate electricity from solar energy & increase efficiency. In the project, two dual-axis solar panels, which have been attached with two servo motors, collect solar energy by rotating both vertically and horizontally. Another solar panel is connected, which lies in a horizontal plane, to compare the difference in the electrical output of the two different setups and calculate the efficiency. Data is collected in different weather conditions by the solar panels. The RF module is used to transmit data over the wireless channel. The receiver part of the RF module is connected to the computer, and the received data is monitored in real time. The main aim of this project is to increase the efficiency of the solar panel to meet the rising demand for electricity at a lower cost in Bangladesh. Solar energy can be widely used for different purposes in Bangladesh by installing large solar grids to minimize the cost and get maximum efficiency.
