Abstract
This paper shows that the design and implementation of a parallel full bridge DC-DC converter for a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) system with an incremental conductance method. This system consists of a parallel full bridge DC-DC converter that will increase the output voltage of solar panels with a power of 3x200 WP. The output voltage of the converter will be converted into AC voltage by single phase inverter by using SPWM switching. The results of this system will be used to supply the water pump loads with a power is 125 watts and a frequency of 50 Hz. The system used is able to increase the output power of solar panels with an average value of 19.68% for a 100 watt incandescent lights arranged in series, the load using a water pump with no load conditions that is equal to 35.91%, while the load using a water pump with load conditions that is equal to 21.19%.
