Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) as a renewable source of energy plays a significant role in generating electricities in the industry and distributed consumers. The output power of the PV device is highly nonlinear which is dependent on I-P and V-P characteristics of the device and also irradiation conditions. Therefore, many research works have been performed to optimize the performance and obtain maximum power from the PV panels. This paper provides a brief literature review on maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for the PV panels. For this purpose, the PV circuit structure with its mathematics model is presented. Then, recent publications on various design methodologies are reviewed.
