This report is about the development of efficient electric power conversion solutions for

photovoltaic panels. Different solutions are presented and an overall perspective is shown.

From the characteristics of the photovoltaic panels to the power grid all aspects are

mentioned briefly. A three state commutation cell topology is chosen for a more detailed

analysis, simulation is made and a prototype is built. Several tests reveal the characteristics

of the chosen topology. Propose of this report is to introduce the necessary knowledge for

further investigation of the three state commutation cell as well as its control by MPPT
