Barren land and roof tops of buildings are being increasingly used worldwide to install solar panels for generating electricity. One such step has been taken by Siksha "O"Anusandhan University, Bhubaneswar (Latitude 20.24ê N and Longitude 80.85ê E) by installing a 11.2 kWp grid connected solar...

Solar panels have non-linear voltage-current features with only one distinctive point where maximum power is obtained. This optimal power point alters with oscillations in temperature and radiation intensity. Various techniques have been proposed for online, offline and hybrid maximum power...

This article presents a novel MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm, based on a modified GA (genetic algorithm). When photovoltaic systems are affected by partial shading, a GMPPT (global maximum power point tracking) algorithm is required to increase the energy harvesting capability of...

In this paper, an implementation of the control and the synchronization algorithms for a Voltage Source Inverter used as the power conditioner for Photovoltaic renewable energy in a grid-connected structure is carried out. Its main purpose is to show, in a simple manner, the design and combined...

This paper aims to examine the sustainability and environmental performance of PV-based electricity generation systems by conducting a thorough review of the life cycle assessment (LCA) studies of five common photovoltaic (PV) systems, i.e., mono-crystalline (mono-Si), multi-crystalline...

This work presents a new analytical method to evaluate the efficiency of PV systems working in partial shading conditions by taking into account the effect of surrounding obstacles. A mathematical procedure to determine the shadowed area on PV modules, depending on the location of the PV system...
