One of a solar engineer’s tasks is to determine the efficiency of a solar panel system. A first step in determining solar system efficiency is a review of solar panel system technology. A PV panel ...

Researchers from Comsats University Islamabad in Pakistan and China’s Hohai University have demonstrated a new maximum power point tracking (MTTP) technique that's based on a fuzzy logic algorithm and ...

The novel methodology is reportedly able to track global maximum power point and reduce power losses in partially shaded PV systems by up to 33%. It uses a backstepping controller (BSC) algorithm to ...

In days of yore when solar panels weren’t dirt cheap, many people (and even large energy companies) used solar trackers to ensure their panels were always physically pointed at the sun to make sure ...
