Solar water pumping system is a modern field proven means of pumping water in areas where the Grid is not reliable or where there is absence of Grid. The mechanism of such systems uses Photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity that not only improves the generation of electricity but also reduces the pollution due to fossil fuel. Broadly, this paper focuses on the overall development of circuit simulation model for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) evaluation of solar power that includes the involvement of Boost Power Converter. The MPPT plays an important role in Photovoltaic systems because it maximizes the power output from a PV system for a given conditions of solar irradiance and cell temperature, and therefore maximizes the array efficiency and minimizes the overall cost since the Maximum Power Point (MPP) varies. Algorithm was developed to track the MPP and maintain the operation of the system. MATLAB/SIMULINK is established by combing the models of solar PV module and DC-DC Boost Converter. Simulation results show that the Photovoltaic simulation system can track the Maximum Power Point accuracy.
