Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface, making them the world's largest solar
collectors. The limitless energy of the sun can be used on vessel in order to help power
ships with reducing fuel consumption and increasing efficiency of solar panel. This
paper study the potential of simple tracking solar system with effective Sun tracking
design on vessel (Class C) which using by dual axis motor control by Arduino
programme. The method focused on data that have been obtained from Department
of Weather Forecast and collected by interviewing the owner and crews. The result
indicated that the measured collected solar energy on the moving surface was great
significantly.
