Abstract: 
: In recent years, considerable scholarly attention has been directed toward photovoltaic (PV) power generation, driven by the imperative to ameliorate the ecological ramifications inherent in conventional electricity generators. The economic viability of PV generation is intrinsically contingent upon both the cost-efficiency of the cells employed and the quantum of energy that the arrays have the capacity to deliver over their operational lifespan. This scholarly exposition elucidates an exploratory inquiry into the intricate realm of modeling and simulating solar PV systems, conjoined with the distribution grid via the employment of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). The inquiry delves into the nuanced realm of the influence wielded by fluctuations in solar radiation upon the system's operational efficacy, concurrently proffering a novel energy storage framework engineered to counterbalance the power quality predicaments stemming from the intermittent nature of solar energy. The empirical manifestations gleaned from simulations evince the system's conceptual prowess, effectuating an amelioration in the comprehensive operational dexterity of the solar PV system, thereby embellishing energy capture efficiency and mollifying the perturbing power quality predicaments. A comparative investigation, encompassing varied conditions, substantiates the prowess of the proposed methodology vis-à-vis the fixed perturbation Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Empirical observations emanating from these investigations conspicuously affirm the feasibility and distinct advantages underpinning the purview of the proposed methodology.
