So, today I finished implementing
the full string for solar energy i.e. test the power from PV cells to grid to charging
and discharging the capacitor. The schematic for this circuit is shown below.

Here for testing purposes, I
have used 10,000 micro farads capacitor rated at 16V. (waiting for the
capacitor).
The voltage across variable
resistor was 11.8 V (grid voltage =12V).
Then the solar power was also tested
to charge the capacitor. As shown in schematic, the capacitor gets charged
thorough the schottky diode to around 15V. Diode is necessary to prevent the
capacitor discharging during charging cycle momentarily. As capacitor
discharges, another converter was used to have constant 12V (grid voltage).
