Abstract

Energy production from solar panels is one of the fastest growing ways of receiving environmental-friendly power. Energy saving is the biggest issue in these days. Therefore, this paper presents a comparison of three different solar panels made by companies from India, Canada and Poland to bring the power of the sun to people in the most efficient and cost-effective way. For this comparison, the number of cells and datasheets are given by the manufacturer. This paper presents PV-cell-based circuit model equations, which define the model for estimating the PV characteristic curves of photovoltaic panel with respect to changes on climate parameters such as irradiance and temperature. In this paper, the MPPT (maximum power point tracking) with DC–DC buck/boost converter is used to obtain time-dependent graphs with the help of MATLAB simulation. The incremental conductance (INC) and perturb and observe (P & O) methods are used to obtaining the maximum efficiency of MPPT. The comparison results of these both methods are also given in this paper.
