Energy harvesting systems in solar cells require control to get maximum power, the maximum power control system is maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Energy efficient and effective harvesting is needed to avoid the energy absorbed by the control system. MPPT method with the Perturb and Observe (p&o) algorithm system. P&O method is a change in the value of a certain voltage and looking at the current value, this method is very effective to get the maximum power produced by solar cells. Energy that is absorbed by solar cells during the rainy season is very limited because the intensity and duration of sunlight to the surface of the solar cells is very small, therefore harvesting energy with the MPPT system can produce effective energy. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
