Heightened environmental awareness has further propelled the adoption of clean energy solutions, addressing the critical challenge of high energy demand. Among the array of alternatives, solar energy stands out as a leading contender with significant potential to shape the future power grid. Implementing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques is widely favoured to optimize energy extraction from solar panels, adapting to fluctuating environmental conditions. INTRODUCTION
