The primary thing would be how efficiently we use the solar energy and store it.
Understanding of MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) can help in utilizing solar energy efficiently.
Hi Arun,
Any ideas on MPPT ic in specific to help with me with my design?

Hi Basheer,
MPPT is implememented basically by continuously monitoring the Solar panel output current and the voltage.It should be an intelligent system preferebly.
It would be better if you go ahead with the microcontroller application posted earlier.
You can have a look at the Onsemi application note mentioned in the below link in which they use a discrete MPPT tracker.
Its based on NCP1294 PWM controller.
