Photovoltaic (PV) systems face challenges in achieving maximum energy extraction due to the non-linear nature of their current versus voltage (IxV) characteristics, which are influenced by temperature and solar irradiation. These factors lead to variations in power generation. The situation becomes even more complex under partial shading conditions, causing distortion in the characteristic curve and creating discrepancies between local and global maximum power points. Achieving the highest output is crucial to enhancing energy efficiency in such systems. However, conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques often struggle to locate the global maximum point required to extract the maximum power from the PV system. This study employs genetic algorithms (GAs) to address this issue. The system can efficiently search for the global maximum point using genetic algorithms, maximizing power extraction from the PV arrangements. The proposed approach is compared with the traditional Perturb and Observe (P&O) method through simulations, demonstrating its superior effectiveness in achieving optimal power generation.
