description Solar photovoltaic (PV) is a crucial renewable energy source that converts sunlight into electricity using silicon-based semiconductor materials. However, due to the non-linear characteristic behavior of the PV module, the module’s output power varies according to the solar radiation and the ambient temperature. To address this challenge, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are employed to extract the maximum amount of power from the PV modules. This paper offers a comprehensive review of widely used traditional and advanced MPPT approaches in PV systems, along with current developments and future directions in the field. Under uniform insolation, these methods are compared based on their strengths and weaknesses, including sensed parameters, circuitry, tracking speed, implementation complexity, true MPPT, accuracy, and cost. Additionally, MPPT algorithms are evaluated in terms of their performance in reaching maximum power point (MPP) under partial shading condition (PSC). Existing research clearly demonstrates that the advanced techniques exhibit superior efficiency in comparison to traditional methods, although at the cost of increased design complexity and higher expenses. By presenting a detailed review and providing comparison tables of widely used MPPT techniques, this study aims to provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in selecting appropriate MPPT approaches for PV applications.
