CONCLUSION
In this research, the dual axis solar tracker system with
Fuzzy PID controller uses 5 membership functions. The
system response performance index with fuzzy and fuzzy PID
control has different values. In fuzzy control, the values of rise
time and settling time are 9.8 s and 11.2 s for pitch angle and
4.6 s and 5.4 s for yaw angle, while in fuzzy PID control the
values of rise and settling time are 8, 2 s and 9.6 s for the pitch
angle and 3.6 s and 4.8 s for the yaw angle. And the
performance level is 48.3% compared to the fixed panel. The
energy produced by the PV tracker in 3 times on average can
turn on a 50 watt LED lamp load for 7 hours 40 minutes.
