Abstract :
The paper presents simulation and implementation of a photovoltaic fuzzy logic tracking controller. The purpose is to track the maximum available solar power in a photovoltaic array interfaced to an electric utility grid via a line-commutated inverter. The scheme shows a satisfactory performance with almost an agreement between the simulation and experimental results
