The Photovoltaic (PV) energy is one of the best renewable energies and researchers are working in this field to improve the efficiency, speed and accuracy of PV array. Since the conversion efficiency of PV array is very low, it needs maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control techniques to extract the maximum power from PV arrays. A novel method i.e. asymmetrical step size (ASS) method of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic generation is proposed in this paper in which present and past slope of power (P) with respect to voltage (V) are compared and based on this step size of the voltage is changed. The main advantage of proposed method is fast tracking of maximum power point of PV array. Also it works successfully in dynamic as well as steady state condition and track maximum power point when irradiation level changes.
