Abstract
As the world is turning out to be modern, the tapping of fuel is also increasing and this indiscriminate tapping is on the verge of ending the fossil fuels, as well as has become a cause of crisis for many environmentalists. The aforementioned worries have led mankind's discretion towards the utilization of renewable energy. Well, numerous renewable resources are available but, solar energy among all these resources has always been the subject of discussion because it is available almost everywhere in the earth and its conversion into electrical energy is easy by using solar panel but this method of energy conversion has also become abundant in its many limitations, such as low conversion efficiency and contortion in solar irradiance. Furthermore, it also exhibits an inability of delivering the maximum available power to load automatically. For more desirable efficiency it calls for more efficient material, but the material that is more efficient
than the material currently being used, research is still going on. For these reasons it is being exhorted to perform rigorous testing to extract maximum available power from the panel.
