Abstract: This paper presents a unique step-by-step procedure for the simulation of photovoltaic modules with Matlab/ Simulink. The objective is to design & simulate a controller for the unlimited solar power drawn from the sun & produce a higher voltage o/p through the d.c. to d.c. (Buck-boost) converter .One-diode equivalent circuit is employed in order to investigate i-v and p-v characteristics of a typical 36W solar module. The proposed module is designed with different icons, dialogue box like simulink block libraries. This PV module is interfaced to the buck boost converter and the performance has been studied by the matlab simulink.
