Photovoltaic (PV) systems produce a significant amount of electrical energy used around the world. The performance of a PV array is affected by temperature, solar insolation, shading and array configuration. Obtainable maximum power generation from PV based energy production systems is only possible with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods. In order to maximize the efficiency of PV energy conversion systems, solar panels and arrays should be operated at maximum power points. At maximum power point, solar arrays generate the electric energy at maximum efficiency and minimum losses. This paper discusses the following issues: (1) what is the effect of MPPT unit in PV systems, (2) two connection methods between solar arrays and buck-boost DC/DC converter with MPPT unit, (3) determine behaviours of PV power generation systems in cloudy and sunny conditions.Downloads
