Synopsis

In this paper maximum power point tracker battery charger is proposed for extracting maximum power from a photovoltaic panel to charge the battery. The output power of the PV system continuously varies with change in irradiance and temperature. It is a very important to improve the efficiency of solar panel. There are number of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods available to operate the PV system at maximum power point. The proposed system has used perturb & observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm for the design and implementation. And also describes thermoelectric power generation from waste heat from PV panel, utilizing generators that can convert heat energy directly to electrical energy.
