Photovoltaic (PV) systems have been developed into mature technology that has been used in specializedapplications. Partially shaded photovoltaic system result in reduction of power generation and produces multiplemaximum power points (MMPP) in the characteristics. In this project, voltage equalizer is employed to solve this issue.voltage equalizer is designed by incorporating inductor, capacitor, diode and filters in DC- DC converter. This equalizerreceives the unbalanced voltages from PV array and makes it balanced by Converter operation itself. Small amount ofpower generated is transferred from the un-shaded PV to shaded PV so that the entire PV array is operating at the samevoltage. It is observed that voltage imbalance is slowly eliminated by this equalizer.
