DC-DC converters are dynamic systems consisting of the passive components. These components under the effect of thermal stress in a PV system generate power losses. The knowledge of these power losses is necessary to evaluate the conversion efficiency of the system. Using the polynomial approximation method, the equations for calculating losses in the different components were determined. The system is implemented under the MATLAB / Simulink software. The results show that for a PV application of 240 W supplied to the load, 18% are lost, only 82% are transferred.
