my final year project is MPPT...damn...

All solar related electronics. Eg. MPPT's (maximum power point tracker), Inverters, regulators, etc.

hey every1.....i have a slight problem....i had chosen my fyp (final year project) as to achieve MPPT for the panels already installed at my university....i did this beacause i thought it was a very good help to my univeristy as well as to the society....
but the bad news is that i dunt know much about MPPT electronics etc.....
........
.....
So please if ne1 or allof you...consider it charity for solar freaks network...and telme where i should start reading...lol
and what material i should refer to.....
....i am ready to read to go thru any ordeal of reading ne sort of material....but i t shud help ...lol...
...i will wait for ur replies...gime linkss....gime circuits...gime everything u got..

Start reading up on how to design switched mode regulators, and their operation.

Difference between a normal regulator and a MPPT is:
A normal regulator regulates the output, but a MPPT regulates the input. Hardware is basically the same.

Once you've designed the power side of your MPPT, start implementing a tracking algorithm which will shift the reference point for your regulator up/down to track power. Usually a micro with ADC for input voltage and current and a PWM and low pass filter to generate the reference.
