INTRODUCTION

In partially shaded conditions there can also be multiple peaks in the P-V curve that can confuse an MPPT algorithm. 

Shown in Figure 1-5 is a series string of solar panels and a corresponding graph that shows lower maximum power points 

(LMPP) and the greater maxim power point (GMPP) that will result in maximum energy transfer. The GP-MPPT-PRO 

series has a smart algorithm that will always choose the right peak.
