ABSTRACT -- This paper proposes photovoltaic power conditioning system which can connect to residential load and utility. The power rating of the system designed is 2 kW. The control method used is fixed frequency current mode control by switching at 50 kHz. Features such as maximum power point tracking and islanding operation are also included. Measuring output current shows power factor of 0.98-0.99 and THD in the order of 6%. The efficiency obtained from the system is around 80%.

KEYWORDS -- Photovoltaic power conditioning system, Maximum power point tracking, Islanding protection
