A novel hybrid approach for maximizing the extracted photovoltaic power under complex partial shading conditions

The convenient design of a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is key to the success of photovoltaic (PV) system performance in order to maximize the extracted power, which is affected significantly by weather fluctuations, particularly partial shading condition (PSC). This paper proposes...
