<![CDATA[Geographically, Indonesia is located on the equator which is always exposed to sunlight throughout the year, so solar energy has great potential to be developed. In general, there are two technologies that utilize solar energy, which is photovoltaic (PV) technology and solar thermal technology. The main problem of photovoltaic systems is the low efficiency of the electricity produced. To maximize the work of photovoltaic (PV) can be obtained through the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). One of them is MPPT perturb & observe (P&O). The increase in radiation intensity is proportional to the output power. When the radiation intensity is high, the temperature also increases. When the temperature increases, the efficiency of photovoltaic will decrease. In this study, a cooling system was designed that uses water at MPPT perturb & observe (P&O) with a converter used is a boost converter. The results of this study prove that a decrease in the temperature of solar panels by 21.190C can increase the power generated by 8.748%. keywords─ Photovoltaic, MPPT, Perturb & Observe, Boost Converter, cooling system.]]>
