Abstract
This paper proposes the development of a two-axis sun tracking solar energy system using fuzzy logic as intelligent quality policy. To achieve maximum efficiency for solar panels, it is necessary to follow the sun’s path in the sky. Therefore, the architecture for the two-axis sun tracking solar energy system uses software to control the hardware. The hardware comprises (i) solar cells; (ii) lead-acid batteries; (iii) a gear box; (iv) a stepping motor; and (v) a light detection circuit, while the software comprises (i) a detection system; (ii) a fuzzy tracking controller; and (iii) a database system. A fuzzy logic controller is designed as the software architecture of the system to decide the timing for tracking the sun. The nearest position that results in receiving direct sunlight is obtained from the database. Our system is fully automatic in a changing environment and takes into account meteorological changes and the effects of the external environment arising from a malfunction. This approach reduces the number of starting motors and results in smaller energy loss in cloudy, cloud mask, or unstable weather conditions.

Summary
To keep noise levels low, wind power systems are only practical in the outskirts of cities, and for economic feasibility, they need to be built on a large scale [5,6] Another source of renewable energy with great potential is solar energy; the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth in 40 min is equal to humankind’s annual energy requirement. The system needs to drive two sets of motors to control the angle of the solar panels, which increases by 50% compared to a fixed system This necessitates the use of a two-axis tracking system. The database associated with the elevation arising from a malfunction This approach avoids cloudy skies, cloud cover, and unstable weatherand to horizontal angle of energy the solar cells is database used to achieve thewith best the quality of theand effect of charging reduce unnecessary loss. The solar cells is used to achieve the best quality of the effect of charging the system
