Photovoltaics Systems: Overview, Status, and Future Prospects
Ahmed Elasser
Renewables Energies, especially Wind and Solar are increasingly playing an important role both in the US and Worldwide as an alternative to Fossil Fuel technologies. Solar Energy and specifically Photovoltaics have come a long way from the early days of Off-grid Systems when a single panel is connected to a battery and a charge controller to Megawatt plants where thousands of PV modules are connected to the Grid via multiple Inverters. In this talk, we will go over the status of photovoltaics systems, we will discuss the various components of a PV System from PV modules to Inverters, as well as the requirements for Grid interaction and integration. We will also discuss the trends and the future of this promising technology.
