Abstract: An analysis of the power efficiency comparison between perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) method being implemented on a photovoltaic (PV) system's maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is presented in this paper. The main limitation of P&O algorithm is its oscillation around the maximum power point (MPP), making its implementation unstable with rapid change in atmospheric condition, such as irradiance and temperature changes. The alternative FLC method was analyzed as comparison. The MPPT simulations have been performed with equal inputs, but using two different methods, namely the P&O algorithm and FLC method. The methods implementation has been based on the common condition and parameter, which were 1000 W•............
