| Sumario: | Renewable energies increase their participation in the electricity markets year by year. Despite the low efficiency of current commercial photovoltaic (PV) modules—no more than 23%—they have become one of the most iconic, popular, and massive green electric generation sources [1,2,3]. The overcrowding, increase, and penetration of PV energy in our electrical networks is driven by current concern for the environment. Furthermore, the support provided by the different governments’ policies and the reduction in PV modules’ production costs has given an additional stimulus in recent years to this technology [4]. Along with the above, there are important advances in power electronics, which have improved the efficiency, reliability, and power quality of the inverters and micro-inverters that connect PV power to distribution networks and microgrids [5]. All the aforementioned is positive both for the environment and for the economy of renewables. However, the different technologies related to PV systems are still in growth and early maturity stages. Therefore, research and development in PV systems is still a relevant topic related to sustainability. The Special Issue "Photovoltaic Power" has aimed to collect knowledge related to the development, implementation, exploitation, and management of systems that operate with PV energy. In this Special Issue, 16 research articles and one review paper have been published. This editorial makes a summary of this valuable contribution. |
