  • Abstract
    This paper proposes photovoltaic (PV) cell booster which amplifies voltage and current in small-size PV cell. The booster simulates large-size PV cell with a flyback converter and a control circuit including variable current source. Principle of proposed PV cell booster is described at first. Prototype of the booster is built and tested to confirm the effectiveness of the PV cell booster.
