This project investigated the performance of various solar maximum power point tracking algorithms on a single hardware platform. It also developed a low-cost hardware platform including a rudimentary solar cell emulator circuit and a maximum power point tracker circuit to test these algorithms. Additionally, the project covered the development of the two software algorithms that were tested in the project: the ”Sweep” algorithm and the ”Perturb and Observe” algorithm.
