In this work we have designed, fabricated and tested a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) circuit for photovoltaic systems suitable for low power, portable applications with resistive load. This type of load allows to simplify the design of the MPPT system, satisfying the specifications of low-cost, small size and low power consumption required by this application. The operation principle was proven simulating the circuit at block level by using Simulink. A photovoltaic system with and without the proposed MPPT circuit was tested on a 2 Ω resistor as well as on a camping refrigerator.
