The use of solar energy using solar panels began to be encouraged. Solar panels utilize solar radiation and convert it into clean and renewable energy. The problems of the accuracy of the panel facing right towards radiation are a challenge in the development of a driving system. Solar panels have limited motion, which is a maximum of phi, so that wind disturbances are very dangerous for motor drives and solar panels. This paper aims to eliminate wind disturbances in solar panel drive systems. The fuzzy logic control is used to determine the amount of power given to the driving motor to direct the panel towards solar radiation. Inputs and outputs of fuzzy controllers are arranged by dividing into each of the five members. Simulation results show that the position error of solar panels without wind disturbances reaches 0.3325° in zonal and 0.5210° in meridional. By using wind disturbances, this system managed to maintain errors smaller than 0.4285° in zonal and 0.6116° in meridional. After modifying the rule base and membership function, systems show decreasing of error half of recent trial. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
