Abstract: This paper presents a comparative study between two control methods in order to optimize the efficiency of the solar generator. The simulation had been established by using Matlab/Simulink software to apply the MPPT P&O and MPPT Fuzzy controls on this system which is supplied through a Boost converter.Many results have been illustrated under standard and then variable weather conditions such as the illumination and the temperature. The voltage and the power of the panel and the battery as well as the duty cycle are well presented and analyzed for the two control methods. The obtained results show the effectiveness of MPPT Fuzzy controller in optimizing the PV generator. These results can encourage the use of this control strategy on solar panels in real time to optimize their yield.
