Abstract
There are numerous maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for
improving the energy efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The main differences
between those algorithms are digital or analog implementation, simplicity of the design,
sensor requirements, convergence speed, range of effectiveness, as well as hardware costs.
Therefore, choosing the right algorithm is very important to the users, because it affects the
electrical efficiency of the PV system and reduces the costs by decreasing the number of
solar panels needed to get the desired power. This paper provides a comparison of 32
different techniques used in tracking the maximum power based on a literature survey. This
paper is intended to be a reference for PV systems users.
