The module consists in a device that tracking the maximum power point of PV module by a PWM current-voltage regulation to charge a Li-Po battery. Characterization and modeling of crystalline and amorphous solar cells has been made. Our simulation estimates speed of battery charge. As a result, we increase the autonomy of the battery charge which is reflected in a UAV that performs tasks in fewer flights and without human supervision.
