%X PV systems should be designed for optimum power efficiency. Add a solar tracker to follow the position of the sun, it can optimize PV position. In this paper, MPPT method Perturb and Observe (P&O) will be adopted and implemented in a mechanical system of the dual axis solar tracker. P&O Method is considering the value of power that implemented into the microcontroller where the current and voltage sensor as the input, which is expected to make the position of PV panels on both axes are optimal, so it can maximize the power generated from PV systems. The analysis was then performed by comparing the value of the energy produced by the dual axis solar tracker system with fixed PV or nonoptimization. The results of this experiments are the increasing percentage of 19.43% of the energy produced by PV panels. This method will be excellent when used for larger scale of PV system.
