- The conventional energy sources are depleting day by day, so the choice of solar energy as the future energy source is most prominent and secure as it is abundant. The non-linear I-V characteristic of Photovoltaic (PV) array and dependency of output power on external environmental conditions like temperature and irradiance affects the PV array efficiency. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mechanism is deployed along with the PV array so that maximum power can be extracted. In this paper, a PV system is modeled which incorporated the MPPT control mechanism and a boost converter to step up the voltage magnitude to the desired level. The algorithm applied for MPPT is Perturb and Observe (P&O); a generalized algorithm and is easy to model. The results are carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK
