Abstract :
In this paper, the main factors limiting the efficiency of Distributed Maximum Power Point Tracking (DMPPT) in PV applications are analyzed. It is shown why, in a PV system adopting DMPPT and operating under mismatching conditions, it is not always possible to obtain the working of each PV module in its own MPP.
