"… very innovative … provides a very rigorous analytical treatment starting from the modeling of the PV field and the power converter stages as well as the dynamics of the overall system, including MPPT control. This in-depth analytical description allows the design of power converters and DMPPT algorithms improving the overall efficiency of the whole PV system operating under mismatching conditions."—Dr. Francesc Guinjoan, Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain"… a concise but complete compendium of the required knowledge to understand, design, and control photovoltaic systems. … a good introduction to photovoltaic systems … also presents most of the recent advances on photovoltaic optimization … the authors are very well known in the scientific community, which provides confidence on the equations and conclusions given in the book."—Carlos Andres Ramos Paja, Universidad Nacional de Colombia
