<![CDATA[In a country with a tropical climate, the use of the sunlight is very important. Thus, to be able to apply, a solar power conversion system is needed into a source of electrical energy. The use of electrical equipment that is quite high will increase the consumption of electrical power so that people spend more and more on electricity costs. A battery is a device consisting of electrochemical cells that can store electrical energy. Overcharging the battery causes the battery to be susceptible to damage. So that the process of charging the battery becomes important, to get maximum attention and good efficiency. In this study, the use of solar cells with battery chargers using the CC-CV (Constant Current-Constant Voltage) Fuzzy Control method uses a solar cell to convert sunlight into electrical energy. The specifications of the solar cell used are 100 WP, while the charging process uses a DC-DC Sepic Converter. DC-DC Sepic Converter can increase efficiency and output polarity that is not reversed. This system is used to charge the lead-acid battery of 12 Volt 20 Ah. The charging method used is constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) using Fuzzy Logic Control to adjust the duty cycle so that the converter output is by the constant current - constant voltage (CC-CV) planning. The constant current - constant voltage (CC-CV) method was chosen because it can provide good efficiency in charging time and the addition of the Constant Voltage method after Constant Current is enabled to keep the voltage at the setpoint and avoid overvoltage during the charging process. Sepic Converter is used to maintain the value of the voltage set point at 14.4 Volts and 6 Ampere for battery charging current.]]>
