Reconfiguration solution for shaded PV panels using switching control

This paper applies a new dynamical electrical array reconfiguration strategy on photovoltaic (PV) panels arrangement based on the connection of all PV panels on two parallel groups to reach the 24 V requested by the considered load and providing a maximum output current by connecting in series the two groups. If one of the PV panels or more are shaded, dusty or faulty the connection of the others in the same group will be automatically modified...
