This study focuses on investigating equipment failures in photovoltaic systems and conducting a practical study on photovoltaic generation by developing a panel level Distributed Maximum Power Point Tracking(DMPPT) system. As solar energy gains popularity as a renewable energy source, it is important to ensure that the photovoltaic systems are maintained and operated effectively. The study explores the common problems associated with photovoltaic systems and the importance of developing new system in preventing and addressing these issues.
The study uses a qualitative approach, drawing on literature review and new technology development. The results indicate that common issues with solar power systems include wiring faults, module damage, and inverter failures. To prevent these issues, regular maintenance is essential. System performance monitoring is essential for maintenance activities.
The developed system enables remote monitoring of individual panels, allowing for more precise and efficient operation compared to traditional string level monitoring. The findings of this study can be useful to facility mangers, PV system owners.
