This paper aims to model a solar photovoltaic system with built in MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracker) for Photovoltaic (PV) system. It provides theoretical study of PV systems and modelling techniques using equivalent electric circuits. MATLAB simulations verify each individual block as well as combined simulation of model containing solar panel, MPPT and Cuk converter. The results validate that MPPT can significantly increase the efficiency and the performance of PV system.
