Abstract
It is important to know character about efficiency of converters before manufacturing it. Recently, various techniques are developed for solar array system. Converters can be used for control of solar array's condition. So, solar array with converter structures are very useful. If we want to measure converter's efficiency after manufacturing it. It's not difficult if we have measuring equipment. But we need to measure efficiency before realization converters for development of optimized efficiency and simulations. This research offers an efficiency calculation of single phase hard switching boost converter. And it is the most basic type of converters. In fact, it can be used techniques for getting higher efficiency like soft-switching and more. But the cost is an important issue in compact solar array system. One way to escape from the cost problem is finding optimized efficiency of basic types of convener.
