Abstract :
The paper presents implementation of a photovoltaic fuzzy logic power tracking controller. The purpose is to track the maximum available solar power in a photovoltaic array interfaced to an electric utility grid via line-commutated inverter. The proposed fuzzy logic controller is compared with a conventional proportional plus integral PI controller. The comparison shows a satisfactory performance for the proposed controller
