Distributed Generation (DG) which leads to the improvement of rooftop PV system is an incomplete part in the research. The maximum power of a photovoltaic generators varies with solar insolation and temperature and it has two main characteristics namely nonlinear I-V and P-V. To extract the maximum power from PV arrays it requires Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques. This paper consists of various MPPT algorithms and their pros and cons of it.
