Abstract
The continuously increasing use of photovoltaic cells requires various efforts to maximize the harnessing of solar energy. This paper presents the research results of fuzzy-logic method implementation to maximize the absorption of solar energy. It is based on the optimization of solar panels position according to the sun direction. The Takagi-Sugeno method is chosen in the fuzzification stage. The control algorithm is implemented on a microcontroller ATMega-128 using BASCOM-AVR program. DC motor is used to actuate the solar panels. The results show an increase of 0.48V in the output of solar cells sensor using the fuzzy logic computation-based tracking system. The resulted tracking system proves to consume less power because the tracking process is halted while moving the DC motor continuously.
