A Review of Smart Photovoltaic Systems Which Are Using Remote-Control, AI, and Cybersecurity Approaches

Abstract

In recent years, interest in renewable energy and photovoltaic systems has increased significantly. The design and implementation of photovoltaic systems are various, and they are in continuous development due to the technologies used. Photovoltaic systems are becoming increasingly complex due to the constantly changing needs of people, who are using more and more intelligent functions such as remote control and monitoring, power/energy prediction, and detection of broken devices. Advanced remote supervision and control applications use artificial intelligence approaches and expose photovoltaic systems to cyber threats. This article presents a detailed examination of the applications of various remote-control, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity techniques across a diverse range of solar energy sources. The discussion covers the latest technological innovations, research outcomes, and case studies in the photovoltaics field, as well as potential challenges and the possible solutions to these challenges.
