Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) is a renewable energy source and has become an important source of power for a wide range of applications. Design and implementation of an Arduino based Photovoltaic system are presented in this paper. Proposed system includes Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique, sun tracking technique to generate maximum power from PV panel and monitoring software for monitoring the performance of Photovoltaic system. The paper describes the design of MPPT unit, sun tracking unit and development of monitoring software for PC. Finally experimental results validate the performance of the proposed system.
