Abstract
Nowadays the growth of Module Integrated Converters (MIC) concept is increasing. This concept was developed for PV applications to improve the efficiency of the converters. In this paper we propose a submodule MPP tracking algorithm to track the maximum power from the partially shaded cells. Generally, PV module have three submodules. Each submodule is formed by series connection of two strings. Here we take a different P&O algorithm for each submodule to track maximum power from the all three submodules. Each submodule will have their own DC-DC converter. In DC stage, DC-DC converters are connected in three configurations to serve sufficient energy to inverter for single phase grid connected systems.
