Abstract :
In this paper a method for tuning the load of the photovoltaic solar panels (PVSP) based on measuring short-circuit current, ISC, and calculating the optimum current IOPTIM currents corresponding points of maximum power (MPP) is presented. Consequently, a permanent operation in MPP is ensured.
