Abstract
A grid connected photovoltaic system aimed at peak demand reduction in areas with hot weather is presented. It uses the “perturb and observe” technique to track the maximum power point of the cell array, and provides a high quality current waveform. The islanding of the system is avoided by injecting a small ripple in the output current. The system was tested with a 500 W cell array, and its performance was satisfactory
