Shading mitigation techniques: State-of-the-art in photovoltaic applications

The Photovoltaic (PV) systems are gaining popularity for both standalone and grid connected applications. These systems offer benefits of being static, modular, environmental friendly; and converts light from the Sun, which is perennial source of clean and green energy. The energy conversion in PV system is although instantaneous, yet less efficient because of optical and electrical losses. The optical loss caused by partial shading reduces a PV...
