        abstract = {With the increasing adoption of solar energy sys- tems, the need for high-gain DC-DC converters has become more critical. Traditional boost converters operating at high duty cycles often suffer from poor efficiency and elevated voltage stress. To address these issues, a modified converter is proposed that operates at a lower duty cycle, reduces voltage stress, and delivers high voltage gain. This design incorporates a voltage multiplier cell comprising a capacitor and diode at the output stage of a conventional buck-boost converter, effectively minimizing the stress across switching devices. As a result, switches with lower voltage ratings can be employed. The proposed converter is well-suited for solar power applications, offering a wide voltage conversion range, steady input current, and high efficiency. A comprehensive steady-state analysis and operational study are presented. Simulation is performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK R2017b, demonstrating a peak efficiency of 85% and substan- tial voltage gain. Furthermore, a hardware prototype utilizing the TMS320F28027F microcontroller is developed, achieving an output voltage of 8.5V from a 2V input.},
