Abstract: Solar Energy is a valuable and important energy resource and it is measured by solar radiation. The primary drawback is the intermittent nature of solar energy to produce similar voltage at all time. Conventionally, DC to DC converters are connected to solar energy source for producing output power but seem to be complicated to produce more output voltage in maximizing the triggering circuit for duty cycle. This paper introduces a new interleaved DC to DC converter with high level gain for the application of solar photovoltaic Module. The aim of this converter is to maximize the production voltage from solar photovoltaic Module, to reduce the input current ripple, to enlarge the efficiency and switching response of the system. The planned converter designs are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software and the characteristics of voltage and load current are discussed.
