A rotating solar panel system works by using a motor controlled by an Atmega328 microcontroller on an Arduino Uno Board to scan the horizon and determine the current position of the sun. This allows the system to adjust the solar panel's position to harness the greatest amount of solar energy.
So, solar panel should continuously rotate in the direction of Sun. This article describes about circuit that rotates solar panel. The Sun tracking solar panel consists of two LDRs, solar panel and a servo motor and NodeMCU. Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel.

Two light dependent resistors are arranged on the edges of the solar panel. Light dependent resistors produce low resistance when light falls on them.
The Rotating Solar Panel Using Arduino project aims to charge a 12VDC Battery using a Solar Panel mounted on a platform that can rotate with the help of a motor. This motor is controlled by an Atmega328 microcontroller on an Arduino Uno Board.
By turning the stepper motor, the jack can be moved up and down, thus changing the tilt of the panel. A car jack was chosen to actuate the panel tilt because it easily allows rotational motion to be turned into vertical motion.
Solar panel absorbs the energy from the Sun, converts it into electrical energy and stores the energy in a battery.
