For maximum energy absorption from the sun, the solar panel needs to track the sun to get the maximum sun ray incident on solar plates. The brightness of the bulb is adjusted according to the need. The device is able to collect data of usage patterns for making any future adjustments if needed. Four LDR sensors are attached to the solar panel, one in every quadrant of a plane. The algorithm tracks the sun by ensuring that the light on all of them is equally distributed. The system works on a feedback basis with data from the Arduino(which in turn takes the signal from LDR)  to drive the motors correctly.
