As a clean energy source, solar energy has great potential, and it is very likely that it will become the pillar energy of humanity in the future. In this report, the principle and characteristics of photovoltaic cells are deeply studied and modeled. Non-linear analysis is performed on unpredictable environmental factors. A new method of solar energy integration were proposed. Integration assumption methods was analyzed, including photovoltaic system combined with thermal power plants and electric vehicles. Due to the discontinuity and instability of solar energy, the control of photovoltaic systems is particularly important. The maximum power point tracking method was mainly discussed and improved. The modeling and analysis of the system operation results were realized. The method of connection into the grid, using PI control combined with inverters. Besides, the combination of solar energy and wind energy is analyzed.
