Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of solar energy sources is increasing and will play an important role in future power systems. As the core component of a solar power station, effective management of photovoltaic array affects the safe and stable operation of the entire system. With the advancement of photovoltaic technology, the requirements for the refined design of photovoltaic arrays are becoming higher and higher; for different modules and inverters, optimized module arrangement and wiring can reduce investment costs and increase system power generation.
In this Special Issue, we invite contributions to report the state-of-the-art developments in the fields of photovoltaic array management, including optimal configuration, temperature rise, mismatch, hot spot, multipeak output characteristics, array cleaning, non-uniform aging, fault diagnosis, power quality, applications of AI with regard to photovoltaic array, etc. However, special topics are not limited to the aforementioned ones.

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. Inventions 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 1800 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.
