The output power of solar PV depends on solar irradiance level, incident angle, temperature and load current which all contribute to non-linear varying I-V characteristic during operation. MPPT ensures that a PV cell, module or panel is operated and maintained at the reference voltage that correspond to maximum power point for particular operating solar irradiance and cell temperature. A 220 W solar PV panel is modelled in Matlab-Simulink to study solar PV characteristics under different solar irradiance and working cell temperature. A Perturb & Observation MPPT technique incorporated for maximising the output power of the PV panel shows that the percentage deviation from the ideal PV power is about 10 for different operating solar irradiance and cell temperature. © 2015 IEEE. date: 2015 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84964319025&doi=10.1109%2fCENCON.2015.7409549&partnerID=40&md5=07e48ba48789d1637b7caf544e21e294 id_number: 10.1109/CENCON.2015.7409549 full_text_status: none publication: 2015 IEEE Conference on Energy Conversion, CENCON 2015 pagerange: 254-258 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479985982 citation: Ibrahim, O. and Yahaya, N.Z. and Saad, N. and Umar, M.W.
