Solar energy is a renewable energy that is found abundantly in nature. It is green energy that can be utilized throughout day, therefore maximum energy has to captured from the panel. MPPT algorithm is incorporated to capture maximum energy. A multilevel inverter is a power electronic converter that synthesizes a desired output voltage from several levels of dc voltages of dc voltages as inputs. With an increasing number of dc voltage source, the sinusoidal waveform is obtained by the output voltage, while using a fundamental frequency-switching scheme. The advantage of multilevel inverter is very small output voltage, results in higher output quality and lower switching losses. This paper proposes a MPPT controller based solar power generation system, which consist of dc/dc converter and a new nine-level inverter.
