Abstract:

The solar energy system represents one of the most crucial energy sources in the current decade, deriving its significance from its status as a renewable energy source and its environmentally friendly nature. Numerous factors contribute to enhancing the performance of solar energy systems, with one critical factor being microcontroller. The selection of an efficient type of microcontroller plays a pivotal role in the economic efficiency of a solar energy system. This study aims to investigate the economic efficiency of solar energy systems based on two types of microcontrollers contained in the charging controller namely, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This study conducted in Tartous city, Syria, with the aim to assist investors and stakeholders in making decisions regarding solar energy investment. The study found that the solar energy system relying on MPPT microcontroller is more economically efficient than its counterpart relying on PWM, where The payback period in the solar energy system according to MPPT and PWM microcontroller was found 15, 20 years respectively.
