Abstract
Many papers are published in the past and at present time which operate the solar photovoltaic (PV) panel at its maximum power point, by implementing an analogue or digital electronic circuits which are known as maximum power point trackers (MPPT). The main purpose of the researches are to obtain maximum power from the (PV) solar panel under different atmospheric conditions. In this paper a digital technique based on microcontroller type 8051 is used to design and implement the (MPPT) using maximum power point voltage method. The proposed (MPPT) consists of three major units (i) the solar (PV) panel (ii) the DC/DC step down inverter (iii) the control unit and computation of maximum power point based on microcontroller
