Demand for energy needs is increasing as the population increases in the era of technological advances. Nonrenewable energy sources are starting to be replaced by alternative energy sources, one option is solar power, especially in Indonesia which is a tropical country. It needs a DC-DC converter to convert to a higher voltage, because the output of solar power is low voltage. The Quasi Z-Source converter is a modification of the Z-Source converter which has advantages such as smaller capacitor voltage stress, continuous input current, and the same output and input. This article is to design and know how the quasi Z-source converter works to get a continuous input current, which is photovoltaic integrated. The output of the converter will be controlled by PID so that the performance of the quasi Z-source converter with and without PID can be compared. Performance testing is done by simulating each circuit after which it is compared and analyzed. The quasi z-source converter produces a continuous input current, because the quasi Z -source converter uses two inductors, one of which is directly connected to the power source, thus producing a smoother input current and does not touch the zero point or is not discontinuous (continuous). For the output power produced by the quasi Z-source converter circuit using PID control by producing greater power compared to the quasi Z-source converter without PID control. © 2025 IEEE.
