A new algorithm is presented to control an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) through an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The photovoltaic module was assumed to be connected to a generic load by means of a DC/DC converter controlled through the MPPT. Under these conditions, and for given temperature and solar radiation values, the power supplied by the module was successfully controlled by...
