The electric power supplied by a photovoltaic power generation system depends on the solar radiation and temperature. Designing efficient PV systems heavily emphasizes to track the maximum power operating point. This work develops a novel three-point weight comparison method that avoids the oscillation problem of the perturbation and observation algorithm which is often employed to track the maximum power point. Furthermore, this study proposes the series connected boost unit integrated with the proposed maximum power point tracking algorithm to improve the efficiency of the solar system. Finally, this work implements a low cost control unit on a single chip based on the proposed method to adjust the output voltage of the solar cell array. Finally, experimental results confirm the performance of the proposed method.
