This paper studies a switched dynamical system based on the boost converter with a solar cell input. The solar cell is modeled by a piecewise linear current-controlled voltage source. A variant of peak-current-controlled switching is used in the boost converter. Applying the mapping procedure, the system dynamics can be analyzed precisely. As a main result, we have found an important example of trade-off between the maximum power point and stability: as a parameter (relates to the clock period) varies, the average power of a periodic orbit can have a peak near a period-doubling bifurcation set and an unstable periodic orbit can have the maximum power point.
