ABSTRACT
Nowadays, to meet the increase in power demand and to reduce global warming, renewable energy sources-based systems are used. Out of the various renewable energy sources, solar energy is the main choice. But, compared to other sources, the solar panel system converts only 30–40% of solar irradiation into electrical energy. To get the maximum output from a Photovoltaic (PV) panel system, an extensive research has been underway for a long time to assess the performance of the PV system and to investigate the various issues related to the effective use of solar PV systems. This paper, therefore, presents different types of PV panel systems, maximum power point tracking control algorithms, usage of power electronic converters with control aspects, various controllers, usage of filters to reduce harmonic content, and usage of battery systems for PV systems. Attempts have been made to highlight the current and future issues involved in the development of a PV system with improved performance. This paper has an appended list of 105 research publications on this.
