Abstract— This paper proposes and evaluates mathematical simulation, a solar tracking controlled by fuzzy in order to achieve the correct positioning of a photovoltaic solar cell and get as much sunlight during the day and therefore produce the most electricity. The results of the first phase of the research show the behavior of direct current motors with respect to the proposed sensors to carry out this function. I. INTRODUCTION HIS paper is a result of the research project Solar tracker of two degrees of freedom for photovoltaic solar cell, using fuzzy logic this propose it's a mechanism for more efficient solar energy capture by positioning a solar cell tracking to the sun during the day, in which its first phase is represented mathematically with fuzzy logic, this assure the correct positioning of the PV panel during the day, The control algorithms position the panel from east to west along the apparent path of the sun and north-south positioning in the changing seasons of the year, as shown in Figure 1.
