Abstract: The output power of a photovoltaic generator is related to many climatic factors like temperature and solar illumination; it is then necessary to track the maximum power point in real time to optimize the photovoltaic system efficiency. This work presents the modeling of a photovoltaic system with a maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The operating of the photovoltaic system and the improvement of its efficiency taking into account rapid variations of meteorological conditions is presented with a MPPT based on perturb and observe (P&O) strategy, both implemented using Matlab. Simulation results showed that operating point oscillates around maximum power point and these oscillations are proportional to the variations of the incident illumination.
