Do photovoltaic systems need maintenance?

The expansion of photovoltaic systems emphasizes the crucial requirement for effective operations and maintenance, drawing insights from advanced maintenance approaches evident in the wind industry. This review systematically explores the existing literature on the management of photovoltaic operation and maintenance.

Can photovoltaic systems regulate the voltage of a network?

Solanki and Patel (2016) study the use of photovoltaic systems for the regulation of the voltage of the network. The power flow is analyzed by simulations in MATLAB/Simulink. The authors show that the increased penetration of renewable generation sources causes an increase in stress in the Point of Common Coupling (PCC).

How do concentration photovoltaic panels work?

Concentration photovoltaic (CPV) modules work by converting approximately 80% of sunlight to heat; this may exceed the cell operating temperature limits. Therefore, thermal management is the best choice for keeping such panels working under specified conditions.

Are buck-boost integrated inverters suitable for stand-alone & grid-connected photovoltaic energy applications?

Continuing with this theme, de Brito et al. (2015) present a three-phase tri-state buck-boost integrated inverter suitable for stand-alone and/or grid-connected photovoltaic energy applications; the input and output can be independently controlled, and this is a great advantage.
