Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are rapidly becoming widespread sources of energy supply. Cumulative PV installations surpassed 1.18 TW by the end of 2022 (and are estimated to exceed 1.5 TW, with an addition of 350.6 GW, by the end of 2023). Rapid progress was largely driven by improvements in solar cell and module efficiencies, reductions in manufacturing costs, and the capacity to generate green electricity.
Moreover, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have become one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy that can be integrated into the grid distribution network. However, there are certain challenges in the integration of PV systems directly with a grid.
This Special Issue is devoted to the collection of state-of-the-art ideas in GCPV power generation system. Topics of interest for this issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Condition monitoring in GCPV;
- Reviews;
- Life cycle analyses;
- Performance monitoring and case studies;
- Trends and developments in GCPV technologies;
- Economic analyses;
- Energy policies related to GCPV systems;
- Energy management storage;
- Grid interaction;
- New converter topologies;
- Modulation and control techniques;
- PV power plants with energy storage;
- Optimization and MPPT techniques.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
