Solar electricity is usually a ubiquitous photovoltaic (PV) power source that converts sunlight into electricity. This makes solar energy a key factor in meeting the growing global demand. However, solar energy production from photovoltaic cells can be limited by many factors, so the power source needs to be optimized to reach the maximum level. One of the crucial technologies to enhance the power production of photovoltaic structures is maximum power point tracking (MPPT) measurement. This technology increases energy production by providing many advantages such as security, freedom, maximum energy efficiency, and environmental protection. MPPT continuously monitors the maximum power point of the photovoltaic structure to ensure the system operates at peak efficiency. This technology is indispensable in today's solar systems, enabling the use of solar energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. By optimizing solar energy production, MPPT technology plays a crucial role in supporting the future of energy. It helps reduce climate change and promotes environmentally friendly practices through the use of renewable energy. MPPT technology also increases solar reliability, reduces maintenance costs, and improves overall performance. This makes MPPT an essential part of the modern solar system, ensuring they are efficient and effective.
