description As the global environment is deteriorating and the reserve of fossil energy resources keeps decreasing, renewable sources are promoted rapidly in recent years. Solar energy, as one of the most important renewable energy, appears to be the most promising energy resource due to its multiple advantages such as globality, sustainability and so forth. In this dissertation, a domestic electricity supply system which transfers solar energy from DC to single-phase AC is introduced. Equivalent circuit and mathematical modeling approach of PV cell are studied. A DC-DC boost converter is designed to realize the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm which guarantees that the PV outputs its maximum power on all weather conditions. There are quite a lot of ways to implement the maximum power point tracking, such as perturb and observation (P&O), increase and conductance (IncCond), constant voltage (CV) and so on.
