Maximization of power a solar photo voltaic module (SPV) is of special

interest as the efficiency of the SPV module is very low. A peak power tracker is used for

extracting the maximum power the SPV module .The present work describes the

maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for the SPV module connected to a resistive load.

A Personal Computer (PC) is used for control of the MPPT algorithm. The power tracker

is developed and tested successfully in the laboratory. The simulation studies are carried

out in MATLABR /SIMULINKR .-Maximization of power　a solar photo voltaic module (SPV) is of special
