This paper gives an overview and classification of modern methods maximum power point tracking for the solar photovoltaic systems. Considered methods are briefly described. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are described and compared. The conclusion is formulated that using of a combination of different methods is promising, including short-circuit current method with of one of the direct methods in conjunction with the serial PWM (pulse width modulation) output control of solar photovoltaic systems. This statement authors intend to confirm through further experimental research.
