This study presents an analysis of neural network scheme for tracking Maximum Power Point (MPP) of the PV panel. The performance in terms of energy conversion efficiency is compared with the most commonly used P and O algorithm. The method used for MPP Tracking (MPPT) is tuned for giving its best efficiency using a planned calibration procedure. The non linearity of the PV panel is replicated considering the mathematical equations of the solar cell. MATLAB/Simulink is used to simulate the PV panel model along with a conventional DC-DC boost converter for MPPT.
