Abstract
This paper discusses the applied research of MPPT implementation in determining the number of electrical loads that may be connected to the Solar Panel. This research is an implementation of the short circuit method in determining MPPT. MATLAB simulations for testing the short circuit method in MPPT are discussed in this paper, as well as MATLAB simulations for MPPT implementation in choosing the most appropriate number of electrical loads. The real test was carried out by implementing this algorithm using an Arduino microprocessor, a boost converter module, an inverter and 3 lamps of 100 Watt each, and a solar panel with a power of 400 Watt. The test results measuring the current during the short circuit process show the maximum power. This maximum power is obtained by setting the output voltage to 24 Vdc and measuring the solar panel's short circuit current. Implementation in determining the number of lights that can be connected to solar panels has also been tested in this study. The conclusion of this study is that the application of MPPT to determine the amount of power connected to solar panels is very important so that a solar panel can produce maximum power.
