The Photovoltaic (PV) panel characteristic is nonlinear and depends on solar irradiation and temperature cell variation. Consequently, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm is necessary to obtain the maximized produced energy from the PV. The main purpose of MPPT technique is to guarantee that the maximum power is produced. This allows to extract the maximum power instantaneously. This paper is aimed to study the performance of different MPPT techniques. These techniques are tested while the temperature was randomly varied. The simulation results are evaluated via Matlab-Simulink.
