It is very essential to harness solar energy effectively as demand of electrical energy is increasing day by day and resources of fossil fuels are limited. Solar energy is abundantly available hence proper conversion and use is highly required. This paper addresses comparison between various DC-DC Converters and maximum power point tracking (MPPT).For extraction of power from the solar panelmaximum power point trackingalgorithm is used.Comparative analysis is done among Buck-boost converter, Cu’k converter, SEPIC converter and Zeta converter using MPPT.Considering input power, output power, voltage ripple and MPP signal tracking Zeta Converter waveforms are analyzed compare to other three converter waveforms considering the voltage ripple and Maximum Power Point Tracking.Zeta Converter topology is more beneficial as it can be used to maximize the generated solar power by Solar Photovoltaic Panel (SPV).
