Figure 43: Solar Energy Potential in Pakistan
(Rauf & Nasrullah, 2017).

The growing interest in solar photovoltaic technology among
Pakistanis has created both new possibilities and difficulties. This
research examines Pakistan's power shortage and its negative
economic consequences, followed by an analysis of the increasing
adoption of PV systems as a response to energy needs. The study
addresses a key limitation of conventional solar installations: their
fixed positioning results in suboptimal energy capture. In
response, the methodology section presents an innovative smart
flower photovoltaic system featuring Arduino-controlled sun
tracking technology that enhances solar energy utilisation
efficiency. The final portions of the paper discuss the findings and
conclusions drawn from this study.
