Reliability issues in Photovoltaic Power Processing Systems
Power processing systems will be a key factor of
future photovoltaic (PV) applications. They will play a central role
in transferring, to the load and/or to the grid, the electric power
produced by the high-efficiency PV cells of the next generation.
In order to come up the expectations related to the use of solar
energy for producing electrical energy, such systems must ensure
high efficiency, modularity, and, particularly, high reliability. The
goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the open problems
related to PV power processing systems and to focus the attention
of researchers and industries on present and future challenges in
this field
