Solar power plays a vital role in renewable energy systems as it is clean, sustainable, pollution-free energy, as well as increasing electricity costs which lead to high demands among customers. The main purpose of this paper is to develop an approach to designing a DC-DC boost converter for a standalone connected photovoltaic system with constant output voltage. A controller system DC-DC boost converter is designed to minimise losses and maintain at a particular value. The converter can increase a fluctuating voltage of the solar panel to an increased constant DC voltage. It uses voltage feedback to maintain constant output voltage. The controller is therefore designed as the heart of the closed loop system and offers pulse-width-modulation signal for control of the power electronic device in a boost converter. The boost converter can direct connection to the photovoltaic system grid-connected inverter. Simulations to describe the design proposed have been performed. Simulation work with the designed 75V output voltage boost converter in continuous driving mode was carried out. The test results show that the design proposed is successful.
