Abstract—The solar module will be positioned first in North, East, West or South. Then, the PV array will automatically search and stop at the highest current gained by the solar cell. This will occur every 30 minutes from 0600H up to 1800H. In these positions the values of current, voltage and power were measured. The design focuses on different applications in a small farm setting with fan, incubator, aquarium pump motor and lightning. In essence, highlighted are the technical concepts of solar energy for electricity generation.
