Technical Description
This invention is a PV maximum power point tracking system that repurposes standard switching regulator controller ICs to regulate the PV module voltage directly at VMPP. The control loop senses input side PV voltage instead of the usual output side load voltage, enabling stable MPPT across multiple DC-DC converter topologies with minimal custom design.
