One of the main concerns in Bangladesh and other third-world developing countries is the energy crisis. There is a massive disparity between electrical energy generation and demand. A large proportion of the country's populace are completely deprived of this privilege. The sole alternative to this problem is energy derived from natural resources. Solar power ranks high among alternative sources of energy in terms of effectiveness which could play a key part in resolving the situation. This study aims to figure out the feasibility of a dual axis technique for tracking solaris superior to an immovable, single axis technique for solar tracking by putting one into practice. Three sections that make up the project execution stage are mechanical, electronic, and programming. The dual axis solar tracker device outperformed both the fixed and single axis tracker device (28.22% and 45.87% more efficient compared to single axis and fixed system) in terms of power generation. Consequently, it has been shown that the dual axis solar tracker device is more useful when it comes to maximizing power generation.
