The purpose of this study is to design the implementation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm. The solar panel system is designed from one solar panel connected to a dc-dc buck-boost converter and resistor. The P&O algorithm is implemented as a duty cycle control of the dc-dc buck-boost converter to regulate and track the maximum power point of the solar panel. The system was tested under three different irradiation conditions including 1000 W/m2, 700 W/m2, and 500 W/m2. The test results show that the P&O algorithm successfully tracks and maintains power in the maximum power point (MPP) area with an accuracy of 98% but there are still oscillations in the MPP area due to the ongoing algorithm process.
