Maximum power point is the key in extracting solar power. This paper provides a structured review on different maximum power tracking techniques. It mainly emphasizes the evolution of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. Various algorithms have been discussed here and categorized on the basis of performance and implementation. Later on, recent trend of choosing various MPPT techniques based on the performance on the locating maximum power point (MPP) under constantly varying partial shading condition (PSC) is taken into account.
