Abstract :
Solar energy is a renewable energy resource which widely used now days. Photovoltaic is the process of converting the light source into electrical since they produce a nonlinear output. These solar panels are high cost but low efficient during change in ambient conditions. Hence by using LABVIEW as software the maximum power point of a solar panel is tracked by using a simple and fast perturb and observation (P&O) algorithm also varying duty cycle to boost converter for rapidly variation in input voltage according to ambient conditions to deliver a regulated and maximum voltage towards the load or battery efficiently.
