Solar power generation by PV (photovoltaic) technology: A review

For the generation of electricity in far flung area at reasonable price, sizing of the power supply system plays an important role. Photovoltaic systems and some other renewable energy systems are, therefore, an excellent choices in remote areas for low to medium power levels, because of easy scaling of the input power source [6], [7].The main attraction of the PV
