This work presents the design of rotating solar panel for solar energy harnessing. Solar energy is known as one of the renewable energies and can be harnessed using solar panel. In this work, the aim is to increase the solar energy of the solar panel by setting up the solar panel to rotate in a single axis. Hence, the solar panel can harness the energy at the full potential and subsequently provide the fitting angle for the solar panel to obtain more potential energy. The panel is swept from angle 20 degrees to 160 degrees and will cease when the higher potential energy is achieved. The finding reveals that highest voltage is 9.23 V at 3.00 pm of angle 92 degree
