Solar Power or the Photo-voltaic Array (PV) is one of the most widely used renewable energy resources, there are two barriers while opting for the PV systems, i.e. low energy conversion efficiency and high initial cost , so it is more important to work the PV at its maximum power point. There are number of Maximum Power Point Tracking techniques under which, the Perturb-and-Observe and Incremental Conductance are widely popular. Maximum Power Point Tracking is important for the Photo-Voltaic systems as it improves the efficiency of the photo-voltaic systems. This paper presents the detailed comparison between the Hill Climbing Method, Perturb-Observe Method, Output results for each method have been recorded and these methods have been simulated in MATLAB – Math Works.
