Performance Analysis of Parallel PV Modules Using an MPPT Charge Controller

Abstract

The use of an MPPT charge controller technology for PV modules is rapidly growing. The researchers have conducted investigations to maximize the power output content, leading to the creation of an MPPT charge controller algorithms. This technique often deals with a PV module for simple control. Some practitioners and others do parallel PV modules on the implementation of solar power plants for no apparent reason and the results are not optimal. Therefore, this paper studies a further simulation of parallel PV modules using an MPPT charge controller. Finally, the verification of this research is a simulation using a power simulator: parallels identical PV modules always generate maximum power and if using non-identical PV modules always generate less power if using one MPPT charge controller.
