Abstract

Photovoltaic solar systems with Panel Integrated Converters (PICs) that are connected in series and parallel are getting more attention for the ability to produce high output voltage while performing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function for every single solar panels. Conventionally, MPPT controller and Boost Converter is utilized for each solar panel or channel in this in series and parallel connection architecture, which results in cost increase. This paper presents a single MPPT controller for two solar panels in any series or parallel connection architecture. It is suited when the load is fix voltage or is resistive. The proposed controller is investigated based on boost type PICs. Experimental results under transient and steady state conditions and are presented to verify the performance of the proposed work.
