Abstract
In this paper, an accurate and computationally light technique for analyzing the performance of Photovoltaic (PV) arrays is introduced. The proposed approach can be used to quickly assess the achievable Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a PV array. A method for optimally allocating a set of available modules, used to create PV arrays with a given length, is proposed, that allows to maximize the achievable power output of the obtained PV arrays.
