Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely used for renewable energy generation due to their clean and sustainable nature. However, the output power of a PV system varies with solar irradiance and temperature conditions. To extract maximum power from the PV panel, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are required. This paper presents the hardware implementation of an MPPT-controlled solar PV energy management system using a high-gain DC–DC converter. The proposed system utilizes a DC–DC converter to boost the low PV voltage to a higher regulated output suitable for battery charging and load supply. A microcontroller-based MPPT algorithm (Perturb and Observe method) is implemented to ensure maximum power extraction. The hardware results demonstrate improved efficiency, high voltage gain, and reliable performance under varying environmental conditions.
