Summary. The dynamically rising demand for electricity must be satiated by both conventional and unconventional power sources. PV electricity generation is essential. The installed PV sources are not used to their full potential due to low irradiance and poor weather. The goal of many research publications was to maximize PV power using different MPPT approaches. In order to extract the most power under the aforementioned circumstances, this study introduces a novel notion of using a voltage boosting PV panels. Additional PV panels are used in the suggested way to provide enough voltage and current. Using a voltage-boosting PV panel, a 20 kW panel is examined for low irradiance and unfavorable weather conditions. In a proposed method, results are compared with the previous INC MPPT method using a 20-kW panel. Through the power analysis, the proposed method extracted 1277.5 kW of power per year that is more than the INC MPPT method, and Rs. 10,220 per year was benefited during low irradiation alone. The power extraction and cost benefits are similar in cloudy and misty conditions. With power, cost, and efficiency analyses, the new method is contrasted with the traditional incremental conductance method and perturb and observe methods. Simulations were run using the MATLAB/Simulink programme, and experimental results were assessed using the appropriate hardware setup.
