Abstract :
The solar energy has several advantages for instance, it is clean, unlimited, and has potential to provide sustainable electricity in area not served by the conventional grid power, and for this reason solar energy is the most suitable renewable energy source that will be used in entire world. This paper shortly presents the importance of solar energy. The main focus is to design and simulate a DC/DC converter used for supply a distributed sensing system based on a multidrop sensor network with RS485 interface. This system will be used to measure temperature, voltage and current in the automotive or navy application.
