Abstract :
The use of fossil fuel results increased global warming which attracting lots of interest to the green energy sources recently. As compare to fossil fuels solar energy is everlasting source of energy while fossil fuels and conventional sources of power are limited. Now a day’s solar energy or solar photovoltaic’s (PV) gaining more attention of the researchers and market players of this field. The only drawback of the solar PV (SPV) system is its high capital cost, which may be compensated by increasing its power output. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is the optimum solution to extract maximum SPV generated power. MPPT is nothing but the tracking of maximum available power of an SPV system by means of the DC-DC converter. DC-DC converters play very important role in case of MPPT or it is heart of the MPPT system. In this paper design of a non isolate DC-DC buck-boost converter is presented for solar module of 250 Watt made by Tata Power Solar India Limited for tracking maximum p
