A unique feature of this method is capability to seek the maximum power point using only a single current sensor, i.e., a Hall-effect CT. Output power of the photovoltaic can be estimated with an average value and ripple amplitude of the detected current. A conventional hill-climbing method is employed to seek the maximum power point, using the output power obtained from only the current sensor. In this paper, not only a theoretical aspect of the proposed method is described, but also experimental results are presented to prove feasibility of the method. 1. Introduction Photovoltaic power generation systems have intensively been investigated as an environment-friendly technology since 1970s because of their advantages of infinite energy resources and no CO2 emission. However, low efficiency and high cost per unit output power are the biggest problem of the systems; which prevents the systems from being exte
