The main intention of this work is to minimize the operating cost and increase the power generation of solar photovoltaic (PV) power-driven sailing boat with buck converter. The design of dc-dc converter for solar powered sailing boat is presented here. The entire PV source output power is taken and given to the solar boat through buck converter. The entire output power from the PV source which is given to the dc load is enough to drive a boat. The Buck converter model and solar PV module has been designed and simulated with the use of Matlab Simulink and compared with theoretical predictions.
