Indonesia, as a tropical country, has high solar energy potential with an average daily solar radiation ranging from 4.5 to 4.8 kWh/m². This solar energy can be utilized as a clean and sustainable renewable energy source. This study aims to develop a 90-watt air compressor powered by solar cells equipped with a single-axis solar tracker system, and to evaluate the performance of the developed system. The research method employed in this study is the Research and Development (R&D), starting from design, assembly, functional testing, to performance testing. The system consists of a 120 Wp monocrystalline solar panel, LDR sensor, linear actuator, SCC, 12V 7Ah battery, inverter, and 90-watt air compressor. Testing was carried out by measuring voltage, current, panel power, battery charging, as well as compressor pressure and working time. The test results showed that the system was able to produce an average power of 29.7 watts with an average voltage of 22.9 V and a current of 1.3 A. The battery experienced a voltage increase of 2.03 V during a 6-hour charging period. The compressor was able to produce an average pressure of 107 Psi within an average time of 13.38 minutes. The performance of the compressor, when the pressure was filled to 103 to 110 Psi, allowed it to fully inflate motorcycle tires 6 times, and the last time it was filled, but the tire pressure did not reach its standard (not maximally filled). The solar tracker system proved to increase energy absorption efficiency compared to static panel systems
