Description
Summary:In this article, a fuzzy logic solar tracker was designed and implemented to increase the efficiency of a photovoltaic system by updating the position of the panel throughout the day for optimal use of solar radiation. In the design and implementation of the solar tracker, different control strategies were analyzed, concluding that the fuzzy control satisfies all the requirements of the photovoltaic system with a solar tracker, the developed prototype underwent different tests in a determined period of time to validate the performance of the solar tracker. system compared to one with a fixed position, achieving an increase of 40% compared to fixed solar systems.
