The amount of energy received from the sun in India is 5 trillion MWh.
So we can harvest the energy in the form of electricity by using solar
panels. Solar energy can provide up to 7% of the total need of the
energy consumed in India. The need for renewable energy sources is
on the rise because of the acute energy crisis in the world today. India
plans to produce 20 Giga watts Solar power by the year 2020, whereas
we have only realized less than half a Giga watt of our potential as of
March 2010. Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical
country like occurs. The main obstacle for the penetration and reach
of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost. In this
thesis, we examine a schematic to extract maximum obtain able solar
power from a PV module and use the energy for a DC application.
This paper investigates in detail the concept of Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) which significantly increases the efficiency of the
solar photo-voltaic system.
