Abstract - The increasing demand for permanent energy solutions has increased the requirement for more efficient solar technologies. This article presents the development and evaluation of a hybrid sun beat module that integrates advanced sun tracking and energy conversion when using an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The system uses a halogen light source to simulate solar movement, which facilitates accurate traction of solar panels through a specially designed gimbal mechanism and has a tilted mirror to increase the light catch. Integration of two 6V photovoltaic panels combined with voltage sensors enables real -time monitoring of energy production, which is shown through the 16 × 2 LCD screen. The proposed system improves solar energy efficiency by maximizing photon absorption and increasing total energy production by adjusting panel orientation. Experimental results indicate that the hybrid approach leads to a significant increase of 20 to 25 percent in the energy yield compared to the static solar panel configuration, which combines active tracking with increased light reflection. In addition, the efficiency of the system can be scaled to reduce the number of modules required for power generation, cost reduction and better system contributes to flexibility. This task demonstrates the ability to adapt energy catches and integrate cost-effective, accurate tracking and reflection techniques in solar systems to optimize and promote sustainable energy solutions.
