A solar tracker is an electronic device consisting of several electrical and mechanical elements, which functions to control the solar panels so that they always follow the sun's position at a perpendicular angle so that the energy produced by the solar panels can be maximized. One application is used as a source of energy for lamps in street lighting. However, in general, they still use conventional street lighting. Therefore, this research discusses the performance analysis of the dual-axis solar tracker based on a fuzzy PID controller on street lighting. In this dual-axis solar tracker system research, the fuzzy logic control uses 5 membership functions. The system response performance index with fuzzy and fuzzy PID control has different values. The PV tracker has a performance increase of 48.3% greater than the fixed panel.
